Catholic schools capital projects moving along

Aug 30, 2018 | 5:00 AM

Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools has held its first Board Meeting for the 2018-19 school year.

Anne Marie Watson was appointed to another year as Board Chair. Murray Hollman was appointed Vice Chair.

Trustees received an update on several capital projects underway throughout the district.

At St. Patrick’s Community School in Red Deer eight classrooms were demolished over the summer and work has started on the foundation for the new addition. The main washroom was rebuilt for students by the first day of school. Work on heating, cooling and boilers is underway.

At Father Henri Voisin School in Red Deer, ABC School has been working to provide occupancy of these three new classrooms, as soon as possible. The delivery of the modulars from the manufacturer has caused this delay.

There’s been a delay in the delivery from the manufacturer of new modular rooms for École Our Lady of the Rosary School in Sylvan Lake. The modulars will now be complete by the end of September.

Work has progressed on the construction of the link required for modular classrooms at Holy Trinity Catholic School in Olds. The modulars are expected to be complete for the end of September.

In Rocky Mountain House, work at St. Matthew Catholic School has progressed on the construction of the link required for the modular classrooms.

Montfort Centre / Cultural Services in Red Deer: At the completion of the Canada Winter Games, the City of the Red Deer will be vacating the Cultural Services (old administration building). This additional space will allow Montfort Centre to evaluate needs and relocate departments based on this assessment. A RFP was submitted to Architectural Services to conduct an assessment and develop detailed construction drawings. After the evaluation of the submissions, the team of Group2 Architects was selected for this project.
