McAdam High School is a two-storey wood framed structure originally constructed in 1924 and had a number Note: of renovations with the most recent taking place in 1984. There is no Early French Immersion (EFI) or Late French Roof #13 was replaced in 2013 and the 31 heat pumps Immersion (LFI) Programs at the McAdam schools. There is a were replace between 2011 and 2013. New flooring was EFI Program in Harvey. installed in 2007. Source: EECD sub-district map 5 for ASD-W. Page 3 Scope – Consultations between the District and EY narrowed the scope to eight potential scenarios to be summarized for the infrastructure review (1 of 3) The following scenarios were included within the scope of the McAdam infrastructure planning review. Each scenario was based on space requirements identified in the EECD Planning Guidelines for Educational Facilities, with enrolment projections for the schools developed by mapping 2016 Census data (Statistics Canada) and Service New Brunswick Vital Statistics to the school boundaries in order to determine future space requirements: § Scenario 1 (K-12): Close McAdam Elementary School and re-configure McAdam High School to a K-12 school and determine what (if any) renovations/additions would be required based on the EECD Planning Guidelines for Educational Facilities (141 combined student enrolment in 2018-19). Develop a Class “D” (± 30%) estimate for the construction costs of the renovations/additions. § Scenario 2 (K-12): Close both McAdam Elementary School and McAdam High School and replace with a new K-12 school (141 combined student enrolment in 2018-19). Develop a Class “D” (± 30%) estimate for the construction costs of the new school. § Scenario 3 (K-8): Re-configure McAdam Elementary School to a K-8 school and determine what (if any) renovations/additions would be required based on the EECD Planning Guidelines for Educational Facilities (95 combined student enrolment in 2018-19). Close McAdam High School with the 9-12 students to attend Harvey High School. Determine what (if any) renovations/additions would be required and develop a Class “D” (± 30%) estimate for the construction costs of the renovations/additions. Note: Construction estimates in the report are for planning purposes only to be used in scenario comparison. Actual costs can be wide-ranging depending on soft costs (design work, real estate costs, project management, etc.), size, topography, geotechnical engineering, and other existing conditions. Estimates are Page 4 considered class “D” (± 30%) estimate for the construction costs of the new schools based on the space requirements identified in the EECD Planning Guidelines for Educational Facilities. Scope – Consultations between the District and EY narrowed the scope to eight potential scenarios to be summarized for the infrastructure review (2 of 3) § Scenario 4 (K-8): Close McAdam Elementary School and re-configure McAdam High School to a K-8 school (95 combined student enrolment in 2018-19). The McAdam 9-12 students would attend Harvey High School and determine what (if any) renovations/additions would be required. Develop a Class “D” (± 30%) estimate for the construction costs of the renovations/additions based on the space requirements. § Scenario 5 (K-8): Close both McAdam Elementary School and McAdam High School and replace with a new K-8 school (95 combined student enrolment in 2018-19). The McAdam 9-12 students would attend Harvey High School and determine what (if any) renovations/additions would be required. Develop a Class “D” (± 30%) estimate for the construction costs of the renovations/additions and the new school. § Scenario 6 (K-5): Close McAdam High School and the 6-12 students would attend Harvey High School (283 combined student enrolment in 2018-19) and determine what (if any) renovations/additions would be required. Review the deferred maintenance list for McAdam Elementary School and include in the estimate. Develop a Class “D” (± 30%) estimate for the construction costs of the renovations/additions (if any). Note: Construction estimates in the report are for planning purposes only to be used in scenario comparison. Actual costs can be wide-ranging depending on soft costs (design work, real estate costs, project management, etc.), size, topography, geotechnical engineering, and other existing conditions.

Scope – Consultations between the District and EY narrowed the scope to eight potential scenarios to be summarized for the infrastructure review (3 of 3) § Scenario 7 (K-5): Close McAdam High School and the 6-12 students would attend Harvey High School (283 combined student enrolment in 2018-19) and determine what (if any) renovations/additions would be required. Close McAdam Elementary and replace with a new K-5 school. Develop a Class “D” (± 30%) estimate for the construction costs of the new school and the renovations/additions (if any). § Scenario 8 (K-5): Close both McAdam Elementary and McAdam High School and have the K-12 students attend each of the schools in Harvey High School (264 combined K-5 and 283 combined 6-12 students based on the enrolments in 2018-19). Determine what (if any) renovations/additions would be required to the two Harvey Schools. Develop a Class “D” (± 30%) estimate for the construction costs of the new school and the renovations/additions (if any).
