Request for Proposals Concludes for St. Peter's Primary Project
Renovations and an extension to St. Peter’s Primary in Mount Pearl are moving forward with a contract, valued at $5.2 million, being awarded to Marco Services Limited.
The St. Peter’s Primary project will result in six additional classrooms as well as an extension to house a new gymnasium and improvements to the cafeteria and kitchen. Construction is expected to be completed by the spring of 2019.
Previous renovations to the school to accommodate full-day Kindergarten were completed for the beginning of the school year in 2016.
