Summer 2022 Campus Expansion Update
School may be out for the summer, but there’s still lots of activity happening here on campus. With an expansion to prepare for and classes starting back up in the fall, July and August will be busy months here at Meadowridge.
Though we won’t be breaking ground until later this year, construction has already started on some of the smaller projects that will prepare us for the start of the campaign. As Mr. Banack detailed in his Community Information Session, all of these projects—those big and those small—slot into the larger building timeline as we work towards adding and renovating six purpose-built spaces for our students and our school.
Find out what’s happening on campus with an update from our Audacity Ambassadors, Mrs. Danielle Christensen and Mr. Brian Spear!
BC Hydro Electrical Upgrade
Just before summer break, you may have seen some construction happening outside the front of the school. This was for our BC Hydro Services upgrade which will bring more power to the campus. Why are we doing this? To put it plainly, we are tapped out! With the old Pad-Mounted Transformer (PMT) gone, our construction team is now installing the civil (or, underground) structure needed as well as a new PMT and switching kiosk. These new units will be enough to power the school today and as it will be following the expansion.
Middle School Boiler Room
After 26 years, our current boilers have reached their functional life span and need to be replaced. Over the summer, we’ll be replacing these older, inefficient boilers with nine high-efficiency ones.
Uniform Shop Relocation & Renovation
To make room for later construction, the uniform shop has moved to the “gate house”— the on-campus, westernmost home to the right of the driveway. With significantly more space, the uniform shop’s temporary home will be a great place for families to shop and browse until it moves to its permanent home in the Burke Hall.
News & Updates
After more than a decade of careful consideration and strategic planning, the Board of Governors has successfully acquired an 8-acre property adjacent to our school campus.
Since 2010, the Devraj Family has graciously supported many Meadowridge High School students with the Arif Devraj Memorial Scholarship, a service and leadership-based award given to a Grade 9, 10, or 11 student each year.
We are thrilled to share that the Audacity Campaign has received a historic $1 million dollar gift from Lance Leger and Sarah Ward.
The latest campus expansion plans and detailed renderings were unveiled to the community at our Community Info Session on February 7.
All members of the Meadowridge community are invited to a social meet and greet with our Head of School, Mr. Scott Banack.
Fall has brought more updates to our campus expansion! Along with that we've got some new exterior renderings to share with the community.

During the expansion, construction will happen in phases to ensure student safety and prevent disruption. To make room for the initial first phases, the uniform shop and the maintenance shop have each moved to the “gate house"
The secret is out: Meadowridge School is growing. With plans to add a great hall, athletic centre, and fine arts building, we’ll be adding much-needed, thoughtfully designed spaces all across campus.
Brian Spear was hired early this year as Project Manager, responsible for developing and implementing our facilities expansion and strategic growth.
