Overview
With current enrolment at around 1,500, the facility also includes a mini school (a student enrichment program) and a French Immersion program. While the building has numerous components and additions, it is the main 1927 heritage block that continues to be an iconic part of the Kitsilano neighbourhood. Designed in the “Tudor Revival” style, this block is included, along with a later addition, on the Vancouver Heritage Registry.
Recent analysis has revealed that almost the entire school has a high seismic safety risk and that it is deficient in structural requirements relative to the Vancouver Building Bylaw. Other deficiencies include an inadequate physical layout, the absence of a sprinkler system, and outdated electrical and mechanical systems. In addition, some of the existing building materials contain hazardous materials, such as asbestos.

The Project Charter set out below is a project management document that identifies how the Vancouver School Board (VSB) and consultants CitySpaces Consulting Ltd. will work together to meet the project objectives, critical success factors, address potential issues or constraints, and bring the project components together in a Draft Capital Project Agreement.
