The good reputation of the LMHS draws students not only from the Padum / Pipiting area where it is located, but also from villages some of which are far away in adjacent valleys. As a result, students from these villages often could not return home during the week, or even throughout the whole school year, and were forced to make ad hoc arrangements with families living near the school.
To overcome this situation, AaZ-CH decided to finance the construction, the maintenance and the operational costs of a new residential building. Initiated in 2016, the construction of the residential facility was completed in September 2019. Its inauguration, scheduled for July 2020, was postponed for two years due to the pandemic and the travel ban in India. Since august 2022, 21 students (11 girls and 10 boys) now occupy the dorms.
The project was designed by the architects (Atelier Tanka, Toulouse, France) who were responsible for the successful completion of the new LMHS campus inaugurated in 2014, thus leveraging their experience.
