St. Ignatius of Loyola Secondary School is getting an expensive facelift and augmentation through a major reconstruction with the 'surgery' likely to begin this summer. The Upper Middle Road/Third Line-area school is having a large addition built, as well as many external and internal upgrades and new features, with a tentative price tag of $17 million, all of which is to be covered by funding from the Ontario Ministry of Education. Halton Catholic District School Board Superintendent of Facility Management Services Giacomo Corbacio said to build a new high school comparable to what Loyola students will have when the job is done would cost about $35 million. At a recent Halton Catholic school board meeting, Corbacio told trustees the massive project should begin this July with possible completion by December 2011. "It's going to be quite a challenge to keep the school operating while it's under construction. We'll keep (classroom) portables on site and shuttle students between them and the school," said Corbacio. The major features of the project are numerous and include: a 10-classroom addition, inter- nal classroom changes and expansion adding three classrooms, a new prayer chapel, a new roof, a renovated façade, additional parking, new lockers, a new cafeteria kitchen, an enlarged cafetorium with retractable theatre seating, a bigger entrance lobby area, new stage, cosmetology, hospitality, food and nutrition, and dramatic arts rooms, a bigger library resource centre, additional computer labs, renovated administration and special education areas, upgraded science labs, new staff and work rooms, and upgraded energy-efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Site plan application and a building permit have been submitted to the Town of Oakville. The board expects to receive those approvals by the end of June. Loyola opened in the fall of 1986 at its current site at Nottinghill Gate in the Glen Abbey area. The school had initially opened in 1981 at the former Georges Vanier senior elementary school behind St. Dominic elementary school on Rebecca Street. During Thanksgiving 1986, Loyola's 940 Grades 10-13 students moved to the new Nottinghill site while its Grade 9s moved from the former Elizabeth Gardens School site in Burlington to the Rebecca Street building, until the new Nottinghill building was fully completed the following year.
