In a communication sent to parents whose The gallery obtained a copy, the director of the establishment Nathalie Marceau explains that the project will be inspired by a “campus experience”. It will “create a living environment where people connect and community meets. A living environment where the heart of the school becomes an island of greenery, creating a lively and vibrant central square. A living environment where buildings and spaces are interconnected, uniting indoor and outdoor academic environments.
Reached by telephone and email, Ms. Marceau did not wish to say more about this project, mentioning that an official announcement will take place later in June.
Students and parents were informed of the expansion project at the end of April.
