During the war, the school was closed and its condition deteriorated, so the Hariri Foundation for Sustainable Human Development came and carried out the restoration work and transformed it into a training academy named “Academy of Leadership and External Communication - Ola” in partnership with the Lebanese American University. The center includes 14 rooms, a main administrative office and an outside courtyard within the house, with a water fountain in the middle, and many tourists and pioneers of science, knowledge and culture come to this center.
