The funds received provide for the completion of the Science Centre with its state-of-the-art super lab at the Centre plus four senior science classrooms, greenhouse, and computer room. It will also cover the construction cost of the building envelopes for the Performing Arts Hall, the new additional gymnasium with adjoining Fitness centre and change rooms. With over half of the budgeted $10.1 million expansion to our college raised to date, we are confident we can raise the rest to fully complete the project by Fall 2007. The winning bid for construction of the new facilities came from Heatherbrae Construction, a family owned and operated company established by Michael Knight in April, 1990. Heatherbrae, which originated in Vancouver, BC and has since spread throughout the province and neighbouring Alberta, has on its team over 100 years of combined experience in construction, estimation and management. The company is known as a general contractor with a special interest in building and renovating schools and is currently working on projects at Little Flower Academy and Our Lady of Perpetual Health. Construction will take approximately fourteen months till completion. For weekly updates on the construction please go to the VC website at www.vc.bc.ca after September.
