Executive Summary

In March 2000, Alberta Infrastructure engaged Stephens Kozak Carr and Brown Architects, to conduct facitiy audits on nine schools in the jurisdiction of Wild Rose School Division No 66.The review of Caroline Elementary school is as follows:

Architectural

This school was developed in seven phases, dating from 1956 to 1993. In conjunction with the 1993 addition, the school underwent a major modernization in 1993.Site regrading should be undertaken. There are some roof leaks.The 1993 classroom wing requires replacemnt vinyl flooring due to shrinkage of the tiles.

Mechanical

The mechanical systems is this facility were replaced in 1993 and are in good condition. No mechanical work is required.

Electrical

The electrical systems in this facility are in good condition. Replacement of emergency lighting batteries is required.
