The five-classroom expansion of the Niverville Elementary School is busily underway on Main Street Niverville, although the addition will not be complete in time for the start of the school year, Hanover School Division superintendent Randy Dueck says.
“Although it would be great to have this completed for the start of this school year,” Dueck says, “the timeline, from PSFB [Public Schools Finance Board] approval to tender/contract and construction, would not allow for this to happen. We are on an aggressive building schedule to ensure the project is completed as soon as possible.”
Dueck says the new classrooms are now expected to be ready by the end of October. Hanover had originally had projected the project to be complete by the end of September.
“As with any construction project, end of completion dates are estimates,” Dueck says. “Therefore revisions to the schedule are sometimes necessary at various points in the process.”
In the meantime, the school will accommodate the affected classes in existing space.
“This primarily impacts four Grade 4 classes,” he says. “One class will remain in the existing hut, and three other classes will use temporary space within the existing facility—the library, music room, and multi-purpose room.”
