The addition and renovation to the existing heritage secondary school in Oliver, BC, will be a combination of combustible and non-combustible construction, and will have a combined occupant load of 550. Phase one will consist of a partial west wing demolition, with the addition of a new gym, science wing and geothermal field, as well as a renovation of the existing west gym. Phase two will consist of renovations to the east wing and parking lot as well as south wing and theatre areas and an addition of a theatre plaza. Phase three will consist of parking lot and landscaping improvements. Sustainable design strategies include a durable, thermally efficient building envelope, installation of water efficient fixtures and upgrades to electrical and mechanical systems. Rapidly renewable, recycled and regional materials with low VOC content will be used to supplement the re-use of existing materials where possible.
