Construction of an addition to Hodgson Public School. The proposed scope of the project involves the demolition of the 1960s-wing of the building and the construction of a new 391 pupil place addition, including a new gymnasium. The three-storey addition would include: On the lower level - 3 instructional classrooms, 1 instrumental music room, 1 unloaded resource room, Gymnasium, including stage, change rooms, servery, storage areas, Administration area (existing to be renovated into classroom space), and Washrooms. On the Ground level; 5 instructional classrooms, 1 art room, 1 unloaded resource room, Library (existing is undersized and will be renovated into classroom space), and Washrooms. On the Second Level; 8 instructional classrooms, 1 unloaded resource room, Washrooms, and Academic storage. The project also involves a renovation and revitalization of the 1914 to 1927 structure. This would involve the conversion of non-instructional space into usable classrooms. This ultimately reduces the number of new pupil places required in the building and provides an opportunity to refresh existing space for instructional use. The renovations would occur on the lower and ground levels of the school and provide 80 new pupil places for instruction. Alterations include the following. Lower Level The existing cafeteria will be converted into two instructional classrooms; The existing resource room adjacent to the cafeteria will be converted into a classroom. Ground Level The existing library will be converted into two instructional classrooms. The former administration area will be converted into an instructional classroom. Existing classroom will be demolished. Existing instrumental music room will be demolished. Second Level An existing science room will be renovated into a staff/teacher workroom. TIMELINE: Working drawings are complete. Ministry approval to proceed has been secured. Tender for general contractor is anticipated late 2023/early 2024 with an award expected early spring 2024. Construction is expected to begin spring/summer 2024 with completion anticipated fall 2026. *The total project cost is $21,780,000.
