Calgary, Alberta T2S 1S3

St. Mary's School in Calgary, Alberta, is a modern educational facility designed for special needs children. It has been constructed to resemble an older building, aiming to blend into the historic landscape of the area. Despite this effort, the school's creation has raised concerns among history enthusiasts about the loss of the original structure.

The site of the former school, once admired for its beautiful architecture, is now replaced by a new building that reflects a nostalgic design. With Calgary having a limited number of historic buildings, the demolition of the old school has sparked discussions about preservation in the city. The Catholic School Board oversees the property and its current use as an educational institution.
