Students and staff at the historic Victoria High School are going to have to wait a little longer before returning to the 100-year-old building.
The $80-million seismic upgrade and improvement project that started in 2020 won’t be complete until January 2024 — about four months later than planned, says the Greater Victoria School District.
She said since construction started, there have been several challenges, including the requirement of additional temporary supports for construction and market pressures on resources and labour availability that arose during the pandemic. The province is paying $77.1 million for the seismic improvements and a 200-seat expansion and preservation of the landmark school in Fernwood. The school district is contributing $2.6 million.
