The Mission Secondary School Replacement Project involves the construction of a new, approximately 14,000 m² facility designed to serve about 1,500 students, with capacity for more.
Fasken advised in connection with the development and procurement of the École Mission Senior Secondary School Project, a major public infrastructure initiative for the Board of Education of School District No. 75 (Mission) (“School District”). The project involves the design and construction of a new approximately 14,000 m² secondary school with capacity for 1,500 students (expandable to 1,650 students), replacing the existing aging Mission Secondary School while allowing the existing facility to remain operational throughout construction.
The approximately $176 million project is being delivered using a design-build procurement model and includes significant educational and community-focused amenities, including special education flex spaces, breakout rooms, and a Neighborhood Learning Centre featuring childcare facilities, a community kitchen and meeting space, and a dedicated gathering room for Indigenous education. Following completion of the new school, the existing facility will be demolished.
Fasken advised the School District with a team led by Fergus McDonnell (Infrastructure and Projects), and including Patrick Frost (Infrastructure and Projects) and Jenaea Reimann (Infrastructure and Projects).
