Arrow’s Mechanical team worked alongside Stantec Architecture and Clark Builders to design the Svend Hansen School, a 900 student K-9 facility in South East Edmonton’s developing Laurel neighbourhood. Svend Hansen was one out of five K-9 EPSB schools developed and delivered simultaneously under the Arrow / Stantec purview. While these schools were somewhat prototypical, specific modifications were required for each to suit the unique needs of students and teaching staff.

With just under two years to complete design and construction, project timing was a consistent challenge for the team. We approached these schools with a high level of collaboration throughout the design phase, working diligently to design to avoid time-consuming changes throughout construction.

Svend Hansen was ready for occupancy by the time the 2017 school year kicked off and holds a two-storey “Learning Commons,” various classrooms and administrative space, a gym, and food and music labs. Svend Hansen is LEED Silver Certified and integrates some 21st Century Learning environment designs, including garage doors on classrooms and flexible design in the Learning Commons.
