Publish Date : 08-Aug-2019
The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has awarded a contract valued at $18,986,000 to Marco Services Ltd. to construct a new primary school in Gander to replace Gander Academy.
The new school will be a 68,716 square foot, single-story building, constructed on the site of the current Gander Academy, and will accommodate approximately 540 students. Construction work will start in 2019 and is expected to be completed in spring 2021. The original Gander Academy was constructed in 1957 with an extension built in 1971 and a new gymnasium added in 1990.
The contract includes:
Construction of 29 classrooms, library, music rooms, administration area, cafeteria, kitchen; Renovation of the existing gym for connection to the new building; Redevelopment of the parking lot; and Demolition of the existing building.
This is one of many school construction and renovation projects in The Way Forward: A Multi-Year Plan for Infrastructure Investments. The plan outlines governments commitments to education, health, buildings and roads, and municipal infrastructure through a total investment of nearly $3 billion.
The replacement of Gander Academy delivers on commitments in The Way Forward to strengthen the provinces economic foundation and deliver better services and better outcomes for residents.
