These additions are necessary to meet class size reduction requirements. The scope of work provides for the following additions: 12 classrooms at Mulrennan and 16 classrooms at Nelson.

Approval of the schematic design phases will allow the architect to proceed with design development documents. Completion of each project is scheduled for July 2008.
