BACKGROUND

The Redevelopment of the Elmore Stoutt High School (ESHS) project is a major project with several phases aimed at rehabilitating the entire ESHS campus, which is by far the largest public secondary school in the Territory. Following the passage of 2017’s storms, High School staff, teachers and students were displaced to the Clarence Thomas Building, where the Senior High School remains.

Activity

The first phase of this project has involved demolition of slabs on the main campus, and design and construction of additional buildings required to restore the campus. These buildings will facilitate relocation of the Senior High School to the main campus, comprising 12 large classrooms, 23 small classrooms, eight vocational labs, 12 bathrooms, an administration block inclusive of the principals' offices, guidance counsellor's office, an administrative support staff area and a staff lounge. These buildings are scheduled to be completed in time for the commencement of the 2022/23 academic year.

Result

Restored infrastructure for senior students of the Elmore Stoutt High School to support full functionality and the return of full-time learning and instruction.
