Looks like they are shoring up the shoring which doesn't bode well.

I nominate @AlexBozikovic to lead a charge for legislation that fixes school procurement before Snyder defaces any more land area in the City.

 

[Technical Difficulties]

Procurement is for sure an issue. Combine that with tight project budgets and you’ve got the perfect recipe for “file save as” designs. Unfortunately, it’s not dissimilar to retail / program rollout - a volume business.

For @Northern Light - there was an article from Canadian Architect in 2024 that touches on this:

Four Lab-École schools in the spotlight

An ambitious provincial initiative to improve Quebec’s elementary schools yields impressive results.

Good article, I'm familiar w/thee Quebec initiative which Premier Legault ran on in his first term.

It was popular, too bad for him, he completely lost touch w/normal Quebecers since, but I digress.

I don't know if you want to split the thread, or list it as active again, but there are two active projects on site.

I read that as "schoolfest by Snyder" somehow...

(Guilty pleasure: I like the banana yellow cladding though. >.<)

Happy to see affordable housing on the site.

Not thrilled seeing Snyder as the school architect. Students should learn in schools, not self-storage buildings.

change to under construction?
