The spring conference at the Cambridge in Red Deer was once again a great success. Although attendance was down from our pre-pandemic levels, we did see a healthy jump from our 2021 conference in October. Thank you to all who attended. The trade show and sessions were well-attended and informative. It was great to see new members at the event in Red Deer as the networking and learning opportunities that happen at

Tammy Parry and Robert Krahn were able to attend the EFMA spring conference this spring, which allowed Robert to start the conversation again with the EFMA executive around joint certification. This has been an ongoing effort by Robert to put more value and recognition in our potential interprovincial certification.

Dr. Anne Anderson School pays tribute to Indigenous heroine
r. Anne Anderson’s memory and mission is now immortalized in the form of a high school in ToEdmonton.anever-growing population, the newly built school officially opened in September 2021 in time for the school year for Grade 10 to 12 students, according to Terri Gosine, director of integrated infrastructure services for Edmonton Public Schools. The Alberta government approved funding for the much needed new school. The 19,394-square-metre, two-storey school was designed to accommodate an opening capacity of 1,800 students, but a future addition consisting of 24 classrooms will allow for 2,400 students at the built-out capacity, says Steven Bushnell, senior principal for BR2 Architecture.
Bushnell is also the design architect on the project.
“Additionally, the City of Edmonton identified this area as having a need for recreational facilities, but also recognized that it might be 10 years before they can build a facility in the neighbourhood,” Bushnell adds. As a result, the City of Edmonton contributed $5 million, which added over 2,000 square metres to the building, to enhance the recreational facilities of the school in the form of a triple gym, which included a fitness centre and running track.

“We created a mini recreational facility in the school for public use, but during certain hours only the school can access the facility,” Bushnell explains. “It’s a winwin for everybody.”

“The project started with drilled pile foundations in late spring,” Corser says, adding the building pad had already been started by the developer. In response to the discovery of deep organic fill, the team needed to pivot quickly and early in the design process from a grade-supported to a structural slab to enable structural steel to commence on schedule.
“IPD is a different model of tendering, designing, and constructing. It’s fairly new to Alberta; when we did our first IPD school, it opened in 2019,” Gosine recalls. “In a typical build, you hire an architect, design a building, then go out and get bids to build it. In this particular model, you tender out all of your partners right at the beginning so you pick who you think has the biggest impact on the building. This team is responsible for building the school at the budget provided from Day 1. Everyone has equal say in how decisions are made. Our build goals are called conditions of satisfaction,
The team was incredibly collaborative and highfunctioning, working well together to build a high school that would flourish in the 21st century. They asked students what they wanted to see in their school, what the great things are about the schools they’re in, what they want to see more of, and more.
“Construction continued through the wettest summer in Alberta in the past 40 years and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, yet we were able to achieve substantial completion three months ahead of schedule in February 2021, allowing plenty of time for complete landscaping and to assist the owner with move-in and a comfortable operation start-up of the facility,” Corser adds.

on the project began in May 2019 and wrapped up in May 2021, according to Aaron Corser, project executive for Clark Builders. It was an IPD (integrated project delivery) project, which meant multiple parties – including the owner, contractor, and designer – contracted together to build the school. The lead contractor was Clark Builders, and the lead architect was BR2 Architecture in conjunction with aodbt architecture + interior design. The other IPD partners that worked on the project were Protostatix Engineering, D. A. Fox Engineering, SMP Engineering, Collins Industries, Kerr Interiors, Priority Mechanical, and Canem Systems.

“The key is flexible learning spaces for multiple opportunities for learning, socializing, and gathering,” Bushnell says.
The school’s namesake is Dr. Anne Anderson, an author and teacher who wrote books on the Cree language and promoted Metis heritage in Alberta and Canada in general. Her influence is reflected throughout the architecture of the “Visualschool.
and direct connection to the outdoors is present throughout the school. Natural light is a priority for all occupied areas, instructional spaces, the agora, stairwells, and mixer spaces. First Nations imagery and priorities were the main focus in the design,” Bushnell says. As students enter the school, there is a place of gathering in the form of a stylized teepee; each of the teepee poles have a special meaning. There is also a fireplace in the centre of the teepee, as fire is a symbol of gathering. First Nations elders come to the school, and they do teachings around this fireplace that can light up and become a beacon for the school.
Edmonton Public Schools developed a handbook on 21stcentury learning, and the team interpreted their findings for Dr. Anne Anderson High School. As a result, the school is organized around an “agora”, a Greek term which means ‘a place of gathering’. The agora is the main circulation axis for the school and also contains the learning commons. Six learning communities connect to the agora and consist of 10 to 12 classrooms in a two-storey box, and they’re connected by a gathering space that includes an amphitheatre stair.

he newly built St. Josephine Bakhita School is now home to exciting, modern features that will improve the learning and teaching experience.
Construction started in early 2020 and wrapped up in April 2021, with the school opening its doors to students in September 2021. According to Grant MacDonald, director of construction for the Calgary Catholic School District (CCSD), funding for this project came through a capital announcement via Alberta Education.

Holy Trinity Catholic High School modernization and addition improves learning environment
H
oly Trinity Catholic High School has blessed its students with a modernization and addition to accommodate its growing population.
“It’s one of the busier schools in the Edmonton area, and they were exceeding capacity, so the addition gave them extra classroom spaces, as well as a new gymnasium,” Jen Coffin, senior project manager for Graham Construction and Engineering LP, says.
“The phasing was an interesting aspect of the job,” Hoose says.
“The school was fully functional while construction carried out. A nearby office complex had some available space, and we reached an agreement with them to let the kids have some classes in that area to alleviate some of the congestion.”

3. What membrane protection has been installed to protect the durability of the roofing membrane?
During the installation of additional equipment, it is important to have a plan to protect the roofing membrane while the additional equipment is being installed. Damage may occur on a variety of membrane materials due to falling objects (tools), sharp edges resting on the membrane or extensive foot traffic over concentrated areas. Even the smallest of punctures can be difficult to identify and will allow a large amount of water to enter the roofing assembly, and possibly the building.
Under no circumstances shall any equipment be supported directly on the surface of an unprotected membrane. There are several options for membrane protection. The two most common methods are to install a loose laid compatible ply of membrane under the equipment or install the equipment on a free-floating precast concrete sleeper adhered to a minimum 25 millimetres layer of type 4 extruded polystyrene insulation with a minimum compressive strength of 240 kPa. Both methods protect the membrane from possible movement of the equipment.
