New Ardrossan Elementary School is Colourful, Environmentally Friendly

The old Ardrossan Elementary School, of the Elk Island Public Schools Regional Division No. 14 in Ardrossan, has been around for about 40 years. Having seen some wear and tear over the past four decades, it was time to demolish the old to make way for the new. Construction began in 2017 and was completed in September 2018, just in time for the new school year.
“The site was made ready by grading. Foundations were installed, along with the foundation walls and then the exterior walls went up,” says Robert Derech, Assistant Director of Facility Services for Elk Island Public Schools. Once the exterior portion was completed, construction began on the interior.
The project was designed as a LEED Silver building, but we were successful at achieving the Gold designation
