LANIGAN, Sask. — Students and staff in Lanigan are celebrating the start of construction on a new Kindergarten to Grade 12 School. It will replace Lanigan Elementary and Lanigan Central High School and is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2025.
The Government of Saskatchewan has allocated approximately $26 million to the project. Horizon's Board of Education will also contribute up to $500,000 for the mini-gym of this project.
Quorex Construction (Saskatoon) has been retained as the construction management team for this project.
The new school will have a modern and spacious design, with an estimated area of 4,829 square metres to accommodate approximately 400 students. The Horizon School Division has worked collaboratively to ensure that the facility meets the needs of the Lanigan community. This facility will feature state-of-the-art labs for industrial arts, science, home economics and the arts, as well as a large main gymnasium and a smaller secondary gym.
The new school will prioritize accessibility and will strongly emphasize mental wellness, with welcoming counselling spaces available to students and staff.
"We are thrilled to see shovels in the ground, and eagerly await the achievements and success stories that will unfold within the walls of this new school," Horizon School Division Board Chair Jim Hack said.
