WIC Gets The Nod To Build New $36.5 Million Dollar Duchess Park School, a $36.5 million dollar contract.
The new 900 student school will feature a gymnasium that is larger than usual with the capicty for three courts, a 220 seat teaching auditorium that can be used for music, drama study and performances.
It will have operable windows in every classroom, and plenty of natural daylight. The new school will feature an abundance of glass to allow unprecedented natural light into a high school.
Many library features and common areas will maximize socializing and studying abilities. A 220-seat teaching auditorium will also be part of the finished product.
A library, study space and open areas where students can realize the best Social and Study Opportunities. The new Duchess Park secondary school will be built using state-of-the-art environmental construction designs.
The new school will be LEED Gold certified, the first of its kind in Western Canada. Energy and lighting costs will be reduced by upwards of 60%.
Once the new school is built the old facility will be demolished. That is expected to take place by June 30th, 2010. Survey work has already started on the site and the new school is expected to be complete by December of 2009.
We will post live feeds of the project, as well as all the project images as soon as we commence construction.
