Blue Mountain Elementary – Prefabricated Addition

In September 2024, the Ministry of Education and Child Care (MECC) announced it would fund a five-classroom prefabricated addition at Blue Mountain Elementary (BME), adding 120 new student seats to the school.

The use of prefabricated construction means students will soon be learning in modern classrooms that look just like regular schools. With sustainable and energy-efficient designs, the additions also align with the Province’s CleanBC targets and meets B.C.’s enhanced energy requirements. The new classrooms will be in a single-story detached addition near the main building and are scheduled to open for classes in September 2026.

January 10, 2025: Update on BME Prefabricated Addition Project

We are pleased to share the project concept for the five-classroom prefabricated addition at Blue Mountain Elementary, which includes plans for an expanded parking area. The conceptual site plan currently shows one building, but it has been designed to accommodate a similar structure to the north of the new building in the future.

Construction is expected to go to tender in late April 2025, with completion targeted for early 2026. The addition is scheduled to open for classes in September 2026.

Another update will be posted before construction begins.
