COMPLETED

• Entry Vestibule, Security Upgrades

A new entry vestibule was constructed in summer 2022 to provide a secured entrance, allowing the main office to better monitor visitors and limit access into the building. To further enhance safety and security in the building, Free Orchards also received additional upgrades including security cameras, interior door locks, and alert/warning systems.

• DAS

A distributed antenna system (DAS) ensures that first responders can communicate between themselves throughout all areas of the building. This safety-related project incorporates cable and antennae that boost the radio signals on the first responders' operating frequencies. This project was installed over winter 2018/19.

• Flexible Furniture

New flexible furniture (FFE) was delivered to the school in summer 2018. Research has shown that this type of furniture helps stimulate student engagement and learning.</p
