Ecole Dugald Gym and Classroom Addition | Dugald, MB

The 20,000 square foot addition to Ecole Dugald School provides a new 5,600 square foot gymnasium, science lab and classrooms to the existing k-8 school along with a 74 space free standing childcare facility adjacent to the school. Renovations to the existing school include the transition of the existing gymnasium into a multipurpose / music band facility.

The sustainable design principles integrated throughout the addition will provide a LEED™ Silver rating from the CaGBC of Canada for energy efficient and environmentally friendly design. Extensive use of natural light is integrated into the classrooms and gymnasium along with the corridors and entries to assist in way finding and create a focal point for the new combined entryway for the school.

The addition is designed with energy efficient ventilation systems that will reduce energy consumption to increase cost savings through reduced building system operations. Additional energy saving include occupancy and daylight sensors, triple pane windows and a high performance building envelope. The intent is to achieve a targeted energy savings of 35% better than the reference building defined by the National Energy Code for Buildings.
