The Halton District School Board continuously strives to maintain and improve our school facilities to provide a learning environment that supports the well-being of students and staff and accommodates the use of schools by the greater community.
This page contains five tabs. These tabs provide information on projects currently planned or being undertaken at our schools. Work in existing schools is generally completed in 12 months, however larger, more complex projects can take upwards of 24 months. Planning, approvals and the construction of new schools can take two to four years. The actual construction time may be 18 months for elementary schools and 24 months for secondary schools.
Please note that the content on this page is updated in the fall and spring. For more information, please contact the Facility Services Department.

A circle will indicate where we are as we transition through these steps. As these types of projects are impacted by market conditions and Ministry of Education and municipal approvals, you may see that we move back and forth through these stages as required.
