St. Edmund K-9 School Modernization
Edmonton, AlbertaSt. Edmund Catholic K-9 School houses three sports academies for hockey, soccer, and recreation. The two-storey, brick-clad exterior of the 1950s vintage school was in surprisingly good condition, with window replacement and re-roofing being the primary focus of the exterior modernization. The interior underwent extensive asbestos abatement, along with several condition-based adjustments throughout the construction process.
The core of the modernization was the addition of a new two-storey glazed facade and entrance, which now houses the relocated main-floor administration area and the second-floor renovated Learning Commons. The school’s interior was completely upgraded, including finishes, mechanical and electrical systems, and programmatic design functionality. New CTS, Music Room, Fitness Room, and Foods Lab spaces were added, complementing the revisions to the school’s overall layout. The existing two gymnasiums were also updated—one large gym with minimal renovations and a smaller elementary gym, which received extensive improvements.

The original school lacked adequate on-site parking, bus drop-off areas, and staff parking. To address these issues, a new staff parking lot was added to the west, and a new student drop-off and parking area was created to the east of the school.
