The student population's not going up, but this tiny, expensive school in the Annex is finally getting a $10-million addition to replace its long-standing portable classrooms.
"It's a three-storey addition to an existing building,” says
Royal St. George's College chief financial officer Andrew Whiteley, "with a drama studio in the basement, an art studio in an attic, and the two floors in between a classroom and a seminar room."
The project is now above-grade, with structural steel in place.
Adjacent to the space is a new garage, with a green roof that will serve as a student play space.
The student population of Royal St. George's, which teaches students in grades three to 12, is 426. The work, by architects
Joseph Bogdan and Associates, managed by
Triaxis, began in June 2011 and will be finished by the end of August. The costs are being covered by fundraising and a long-term mortgage.
