St. Gregory the Great Catholic School

St. Gregory the Great School was developed in tandem with St. Joseph High School as an IPD project and supports 500 students from kindergarten through grade nine.

Location Blackfalds, AB Completion September 2017 Studio Red Deer Project Budget $15.5 Million

The design emphasizes flexibility and adaptability, a supportive learning environment, and project based learning. The new facility will be a tool to help students become engaged thinkers with an entrepreneurial spirit, in addition to fulfilling the divisional mandate of creating ethical citizens and life-long learners.

Through the highly flexible spaces, the design of St. Gregory balances individual with collaborative learning with an emphasis on the creation of adaptive maker spaces.

In addition to educational innovation, the project was completed via Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) through the formation of a project team consisting of trades, contractors, and consultants.

By addressing potential risks to the project early in the design, the IPD team was able to meet budget targets while focusing on educational value for the owner and end user.
