New School Sub-Committee Report – Sept. 2010

Feasibility Study:
Recently, a feasibility study was launched to look into the possibility of a new St. Joseph school. The study itself has been officially underway since late September 2009 when architect Jim Meiklejohn was professionally retained to assist in the consultation process. So far, our New School Sub-Committee has met to consider various options and suggestions for basic site re-organization and potential ideas relating to a new school. Very basic meetings have been conducted at City Hall to ensure the process will go as smoothly as possible. Still, we are not yet at a stage to commit to any one design for planning purposes as the study requires us to also consider partial or full renovation (per Diocesan request).

Contained here are several drawings providing hypothetical designs to be discussed, tweaked or tossed out entirely. We are still very early in the overall process but are well on to the road to completing our feasibility study which, upon completion, will allow our New School Sub-Committee to offer a final recommendation to both our own Kelowna Catholic School Council and then to the Board of Directors of the Nelson Diocese.
