Design Committee

Thames Valley District School Board established a Design Committee to give the school community a voice in the schematic design phase of the process. Schematic design includes the general layout, basic concept drawings and understanding of project requirements and goals. The Design Committee convened on April 21 and May 10, 2022.

At the Design Committee meeting on May 10, Eagle Heights PS students shared their ideas about what they would like to see in their school's expansion. Their ideas included actionable suggestions like a multi-faith room, arts and crafts room, larger library and more classrooms.

Work set to begin on Eagle Heights Public School expansion project

The Thames Valley District School Board is excited to announce work will soon get underway on the Eagle Heights Public School expansion project. A tender for the project was awarded to Bronnenco Construction Ltd.  at the end of May, 2023, with completion expected in early 2025.

On May 12, 2023, the Ministry announced over $2 million of additional funding towards the project. The now more than $9.2 million expansion project will provide space for an additional 300 students. This includes renovations to increase the school’s library and administration area. Community information sessions on architectural designs for the project were completed in 2022.

Eagle Heights Public School was originally built for 680 students. It currently requires 18 portable classrooms to accommodate more than 1,000 students.

“Our government is investing about $15 billion over ten years to build new schools, improve existing facilities and create child care spaces to ensure young people can reach their full potential," said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education. “By building the new state-of-the-art addition and internal renovations at Eagle Heights Public School in London, as well as updating the curriculum, investing in tutoring and mental health supports for the year ahead, and encouraging students to take a good look at rewarding careers in the skilled trades, our government is taking action to prepare Ontario’s young people for the jobs of the future.”

"Thames Valley District School Board is grateful to the Ministry of Education for supporting the Eagle Heights Public School expansion project,” said Mark Fisher, Director of Education for Thames Valley. "This much needed renovation will help address enrolment pressure facing schools in West London due to unprecedented growth in the city. As one of the fastest growing communities in the board, we look forward to welcoming new families, and introducing them to the many unique programs we offer in Thames Valley."

"The funding for a new addition and internal renovations at Eagle Heights Public School in London is great news for our community," said Rob Flack, MPP for Elgin-Middlesex-London. "This investment will ensure families and students have access to a quality learning environment in the years ahead."

Funding approved for Eagle Heights PS expansion

The Ministry of Education has announced funding for a major expansion of Eagle Heights Public School in London.

“This is great news for students, families and community members in the Eagle Heights Public School community,” said Thames Valley Education Director Mark Fisher. “We are very excited the Ministry of Education has supported this much-needed expansion.”

The $7.2-million project will provide space for 300 students, including renovations to rightsize the school’s library and administration area to address enrolment pressure in west London.

Eagle Heights PS, built for 680 students, currently requires 18 portable classrooms to accommodate the school’s enrolment of more than 1,000 students. 

“We are so pleased with the Ministry of Education’s support for our students and their families in west London,” said TVDSB Board Chair Lori-Ann Pizzolato, who praised Thames Valley’s planning staff for presenting the Ministry with a detailed business case for the project.

“With growth taking hold across London, our government recognizes the importance of providing students and children with quality education opportunities, which is why we are investing in expanding schools and improving ventilation,” said Minister Lecce. “This investment is part of our ongoing commitment and plan to build, expand, and modernize schools and child care spaces across our province, especially for London families. Once complete, the projects will leave a lasting legacy that will benefit working families in London for years to come.”

The project is part of a provincewide investment of more than $600 million to support new school and child care spaces that were recently announced by Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education.
