Other Review
Background & Update as of March 26, 2026:
The 149 College Street development is a 60-storey mixed-use building that will be constructed next to Orde Street Public School. Major construction projects can create disruptions and disturbances that can lead to operational challenges for nearby properties, particularly schools.
Based on the significant impacts that construction will have on the school, staff feel it is necessary to relocate Orde Street Public School to another site during the construction.
Staff will be sharing further information with the community once a relocation site has been identified.
Although challenging, relocation would mitigate against on-site operational issues, including safety concerns, as well as any unforeseen impacts or delays. Orde Street Public School will remain on-site for as long as possible; however it could need to relocate as early as September 2027 based on construction timelines shared by the developer.
A public information session was held on March 26, 2026 to share information about the development and its impact on Orde Street Public School. A copy of the presentation slides and recording under the “Meeting(s) – Community Engagement” tab below.
Additional Information:
A communication bulletin/letter was circulated to the Orde St PS community on Monday March 30, summarizing what was discussed during the information session and the recommendation that was presented.
Please refer to the attached community bulletin. All communication letters related to this project can also be found under the “Helpful Information” tab below.
