吃瓜黑料网

Project Address: 17 Dennis Ave, York, ON M6N 2T7

吃瓜黑料网 is constructing a new building to replace Dennis Avenue Community School and allow for consolidation of Cordella Junior Public School and Rockcliff Middle School in Toronto. The existing Dennis Avenue CS was demolished due to significant deterioration of the facility. The three-story new Dennis Avenue CS site not only provides students and families with a new, modern facility to enrich learning opportunities, but also provides the broader community with the opportunities a community hub can offer.. In addition to the classrooms, the project includes a 5-room childcare center, gymnasium, an art/multipurpose room, and a modern library. In line with 吃瓜黑料网’s commitment to equitable and inclusive spaces, the building will be a fully barrier-free, accessible school with a new elevator.

Background

In March of 2018, the Ministry of Education (EDU) approved the replacement elementary school at Dennis Avenue CS. The replacement of the aging facility at Dennis Avenue CS will accommodate 358 students from JK to Grade 8. Since the approval of the original business case, 吃瓜黑料网 began the design process from hiring and engaging the consultants, up until receiving the permit and tendering the project in Fall 2022. During this process, 吃瓜黑料网 was also working on receiving all the necessary approvals and permits to demolish the old Dennis Avenue CS, which was completed in Summer 2022.
