The construction phase of the Border City’s high school renovation and expansion is underway.

Lloydminster Comprehensive High School’s $28.8 million project kicks off with internal work on the campus, through work from Saskatoon-based Quorex construction. This expansion includes a two-storey addition with 12 additional classrooms, two science rooms and two multipurpose rooms, a noteworthy progression for the Lloydminster Public School Division (LPSD).

The costs of these renovations are shared with the Province of Alberta through The Lloydminster Charter.

“These upgrades will support local business and ensure state of the art facilities for students in these communities for years to come,” Saskatchewan Education Minister Dustin Duncan said in a release.

“Like so many endeavors in Lloydminster, this project is moving forward through the collaboration and support of the Government of Saskatchewan, the Government of Alberta, and the local community,” LPSD Board Chair David Thompson added.

“This project will provide enhanced learning opportunities for students in a number of areas and will include an attractive space to facilitate greater awareness of the cultural diversity that is ours,” Thompson said.

LPSD is also partnering with Synergy Credit Union and the City of Lloydminster to allow for the expansion of the project to include a Fieldhouse, providing greater opportunities for students and for community use.

The project’s progress was announced by the province in conjunction with work kicking off on the $19.1 million roof replacement and upgrades at Yorkton Regional High School. Both projects are expected to be complete in 2023.
