Alberta’s portfolio of public schools is one of the factors leading to an excellent quality of life for every Albertan. Following Budget 2023 the Government of Alberta approved 19 school capital projects consisting of new schools, replacement schools, and modernization school projects. The 2023 School Capital announcement will enable Alberta to meet student enrollment growth and revitalize existing student spaces by building and maintaining high quality, well-designed schools.
The replacement for École Michaëlle-Jean & Gabrielle-Roy K-6 / 7-12 schools will be delivered by Alberta Infrastructure for the Conseil Scolaire Centre Nord/Greater North Central Francophone Education Region. The scope of work includes construction of a new combined K-6 / 7-12 facility to house both École Michaëlle-Jean & École Gabrielle-Roy which will have an opening capacity of 780 students and a gross floor area of 7,445 m2, located on the existing École Gabrielle-Roy school site in Edmonton. In addition to the combined school facility the scope includes adding childcare and multipurpose spaces in the École Gabrielle-Roy and École Michaëlle-Jean joint project. The project also includes the addition of a multi-purpose community space for the before and after school care service. Hazardous abatement and demolition of the existing École Gabrielle-Roy is included in the scope of work. The existing École Gabrielle-Roy School will remain occupied for the entirety of the construction period. The school will be partially occupied during school holidays and holiday breaks.
