Sacred Heart Catholic High School
Location: 5870 Abbott, Stittsville, Ontario
Owner: Ottawa Carleton Catholic School Board
Project Value: $20 million
Completion Date: March 2000
Duration: 10.5 months
The Sacred Heart project consisted of a 15794m2 high school with a three storey cast in place concrete core, and one storey load bearing masonry and structural steel wings housing the shops, gymnasiums, cafeteria and a 700 seat joint use community theatre. The project site presented a considerable challenge as it was peat covered, cedar bush adjacent to an environmentally sensitive area. The existing grade was significantly lower than the proposed finished building elevations, and a high percentage of the site was covered in water. RECL was able to ensure that the quality acceptance standards for this project were met or exceeded, while maintaining a “Fast Track†project schedule.
