Seeing how it is now, is sad,, this school had a lot of history over the years. if the walls could talk .

I think the building was shared with Chinook. It was a part of my daily commute to drop our daughter off, some good memories associated with it.

That’s our take on it as well. Should the land sell we don’t see the building last long after.

We see the listing now, thanks!

Between lack of insulation, old inefficient heating systems, designated substances and deferred maintenance due to tight budgets it would be a money pit.

Yep. Its listed with Cushman Wakefield as a prime development opportunity for an undisclosed amount as is common with this sort of property.

Thanks for the update. We hadn’t seen any listings online nor been past the building recently but suspected it was due to hit the market soon.
