Design with Us: Renovations to the 1015 Cottonwood Rd Building to Accommodate the French Immersion Program in Grades 9-12
The 91ÖÆƬ³§ (LRSD) Board of Trustees decided in June 2022 that an exchange of the Windsor Park Collegiate and Collège Béliveau buildings is the most optimal, sustainable, and achievable solution to the changing enrolment patterns in the southeast quadrant of the school division.

LRSD is taking the next important step to advance proposed renovations to the 1015 Cottonwood Rd building as a priority capital project request with the Manitoba government.
The existing building at 1015 Cottonwood Rd was constructed in 1959 with additions in 1965 and 1969.
The division engaged to design concepts for the project and prepare a cost estimate. The proposed renovations will ensure that the building meets the needs of the community it will serve. To this end, architects and Divisional Leadership worked with school administrators, staff, students, families, and community beginning in early November until January to help shape the that were shared with the community on February 1. We continue to welcome the community’s about the concepts.
The next steps between now and April are to:
- continue consulting with students, staff, families, and community
- develop phasing options for the project
- present the final concept design, phasing options, and cost estimate to the community
The final concept design, phasing options, and cost estimate will assist LRSD’s ongoing work to expand the Manitoba government’s understanding of and secure their support for this proposed capital project.
