The St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School project involved the redevelopment of the existing school campus in phases to permit construction of a new 3-storey, 180,000 square foot facility prior to the demolition of the existing school. The new building’s steel frame and precast slab structure was constructed through the Construction Management protocol, in close coordination with the existing school staff to ensure that the existing curriculum program was not impacted.

“With the dedication and skill of Aquicon’s team, complex problems were resolved in a professional manner. They showed a high level of respect and commitment to the objectives of the client.”

Gary MacKeen, President, KMB International
