The Four New K-8 Schools Project includes the construction of four new standardized K–8 schools, each developed based on a core design concept. Each facility is designed with an opening capacity of 675 students and a core capacity to accommodate up to 800 students. The project sites are located as follows:
Devonshire: Project 4962 - River East Transcona School Division (RETSD)
Skyline: Project 4963 - Pembina Trails School Division (PSD)
Cowley: Project 4964 - Seven Oaks School Division (SOSD)
Brookwood: Project 4965 - Brandon School Division (BSD)
Each school have an approximate gross area of 80,000 sq. ft., which includes classrooms, a gymnasium, a multipurpose room, and spaces for home economics and industrial arts, etc. The site design and building layout is site-specific, derived from the core design concept, with minimal or no modifications required to accommodate variations in site size, orientation, and conditions. Each school also incorporate a childcare centre with capacity for up to 104 spaces, to be integrated within the main building structure.
Commencement of the Services by the successful Design-Assist Trade Contractor will take place immediately upon award.
Maintaining deadlines for substantial completion is a critical driver for this project. The Trade Contractor is expected to provide strategies to mitigate risks to the schedule including identification of early procurement materials, as well as provide expertise to create efficiencies during construction.
