We are excited to announce that construction has commenced on the new 800-student capacity elementary school in the Waverley West neighbourhood in south Winnipeg within the Pembina Trails School Division for the Government of Manitoba.

The new two-storey elementary school is 81,400 sf and generally consists of classrooms; music and band rooms; library, gym, canteen and multi-purpose space; dedicated science rooms, STEM lab, manufacturing and construction lab, and human ecology for the upper grade levels; a resource and life skills suite; administration and support spaces; as well as a before and after school childcare program.

The school is organized as three wings off of a central entry commons: the east and west wings are classroom and specialized support spaces and the south wing contains many of the shared spaces such as the multi-purpose are and gym, the manufacturing and construction lab, the specialized band space and the before and after school childcare program. The Commons provides entry into the heart of the school from the north and south to facilitate both bus and parent drop-off for students as well as staff. The administration suite, library, multi-purpose and canteen space and gymnasium open into the central two-storey commons, which has the ability to be locked off from classroom wings to facilitate after-hours community use.
