School board construction well underway

Jul 22, 2019 | 8:00 AM

Construction on the new school board office on 15th Street is well underway.

Phase one of the project has been completed and staff have moved out of the existing board office and into the new state of the art building.

“We appreciate the hard work the contractors and tradespeople have put into this project, and look forward to the anticipated completion of the full project in December,” said Maritza Reilly, communications coordinator for School District 22.

District staff are asking visitors wanting to access the new board office to drive through the maintenance and transportation gates to the ATCO trailer to access reception.

Parking in the main parking lot will no longer be available.

The district office will be closed to the public for the period July 22 – August 16, 2019

The new board office will come as a relief to staff who have had to work in portables because of overcapacity issues.

The existing board office was built in 1972, and the full renovation project is expected to be complete by the end of this year.
