I am very very curious to see how it goes with the design for the new Lemarchant Elementary School. As you say, it is the province (and not even the department of education but the department of transportation and infrastructure) who builds schools, and it seems it is done on a "template" basis. However, this new elementary school will be the first one in a long long time that will be built in an urban setting. Given that the rest of the elementary schools built in the last number if years have all been in rural or suburban settings where there are not the same space constraints, I am quite curious to see what will be done.
