The
enrolment capacity of the school will accommodate 60 Kindergarten and
525 elementary students, for a total design capacity of 585 students.
The project scope also includes a 300 M2 neighbourhood learning centre
space, funding for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction measures and
construction with mass timber.
The
school district will proceed to engage a consulting design team and
following the design process, application will be made to submit the
project for municipal review and permitting. The demolition of the
existing school building and construction of the new school will
commence once permitting is in place, with occupancy planned for the
2026/27 school year.
