École Rivière-Rouge is LEED Gold certified!

Located in the Riverbend area within the Seven Oaks School Division, the 51,562 square foot École Rivière Rouge has LEED Gold certification! Saving the school division 47% in energy costs annually, this building has an energy savings of 50% over the modelled base building, a water savings average of 45%, and diverted 76% of its construction waste from landfill. As with all of our sustainable education projects we design sustainability into the school to be used as a teaching tool in the curriculum. One such feature incorporated into the design of the building is the visual representation of the historical flood levels of the Red River into the masonry work at the front of the school.
