High school construction update
The Jasper Joint School Facility is still on target for its June 30 completion date, according to an update in the school division鈥檚 monthly board news.
On site, masons have completed patching and prepping the interior blocks for paint and painting is now in progress throughout the school. There is also ceiling grid being installed in classrooms, ceramic tiles in the washrooms and light fixtures in classrooms and the gymnasium.
As well, the plumbing fixtures, elevator kit and the hardware for the building鈥檚 doors have all arrived on site.
The new $21.3-million facility will be shared by the Jasper Junior/Senior High School and 脡cole Desrochers, which has been using space in the back of the Jasper Legion for its classrooms.
