EDUCATION
F.H. CLERGUE FRENCH IMMERSION SCHOOL
This was the first new elementary school built in Sault Ste. Marie, in thirty years. As such, considerable community and Board involvement has taken place to ensure this is the best facility that can be built for the money available. The project will include the usual classroom types, plus dedicated science, music and arts classrooms, and double gymnasia, all of which are highly unusual for an elementary school.
RE-PURPOSING BOREAL FRENCH IMMERSION SCHOOL
Formerly the building was a 60 year old Vocational High School that we are transforming into a new JK to 8, French Immersion Elementary School. The project includes the complete renewal of the site, complete exterior façade and all interiors to yield an essentially ‘new’ school. The net result is a building that is unrecognizable from its former self. Everything must be changed to suit its new use. The site now has to accommodate a minimum of 25 buses, and provide a complete separation of cars and buses on the site.
ADSB JK to 12 SCHOOL
The new school amalgamates all students for the entire community, from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12, in one new facility. The project includes all classroom types from kindergarten rooms through science, music and arts classrooms. As the student population is small, most classrooms are designed to be able to be easily sub-divided into two smaller spaces on demand, to suit classes as small as 6 to a dozen students, up to full size.
