The future of school construction starts in Scarborough
The forthcoming Poplar Road K-8 Public School, which is set to break ground in Scarborough this year, will become a real-time lesson in mass-timber construction, with the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) leading by example.
Replacing the existing K-6 school, Poplar Road will be a two-storey modular building that aligns with the TDSB’s Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan. It will also conform to the Ontario government’s commitment to investing in education, with a recent announcement outlining a $1.3-billion investment to build 30 new schools and expand 15 across Ontario. Once complete, the government’s efforts should create more than 25,000 new spaces for students and more than 1,600 new licensed child-care spaces.
