Good progress is being made on the construction of a new school in Kugaaruk. It will replace the existing Kugaardjuq community’s school, which was heavily damaged by fire in early 2017. The new 2-storey school will accommodate up to 450 students, with Kindergarten to Grade 6 students located on one level, and Grade 7 to 12 students on the other level. The design/build team comprises Parkin Architects Limited, Accutech Engineering and Kudlik Construction.
