Material Resources is working hard to deal with the lack of space for education services<\/h2>\n

The increasing need for space for our educational services is a well-known issue. What is perhaps less known is what Material Resources is doing to address this challenge. The department is currently working on two fronts, renovating, and building schools. Here is an overview of our current projects*.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”10\/12″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

New school in Inukjuak<\/h3>\n

New space at the Nassivik Adult Education and Vocational Training Centre<\/h3>\n

With a growing program offering, the need for additional classrooms to accommodate students has been felt in recent years in Kangiqsujuaq. Last summer, work started on four new classrooms which will be added to the teaching space at the Nassivik Centre. The goal: to complete the expansion by the fall of 2022.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

Two projects underway in Salluit<\/h3>\n

Pigiurvik School is undergoing a major renovation. The work, which includes the elimination of mold, started in July 2021, and is expected to wrap up very soon.<\/p>\n

At Ikusik School, the start of the school year was supposed to coincide with the renovations. However, for safety reasons, corrections had to be made at the end of September. Students and staff will be able to take full advantage of their new accommodation at the end of October when work is expected to be completed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

*For the design and realization of these projects, Material Resources collaborated with architectural and engineering firms from various regions of southern Quebec (Val-d\u2019Or, Gatineau, Qu\u00e9bec et Montr\u00e9al). Additionally, for each construction project involving the addition of space, a contest for the integration of Inuit art was launched by the Minist\u00e8re de la Culture et des Communications. Keep an eye out for the announcement of the selected artists![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
