Classroom of the Future slated for Bruce Power Training Centre

A "Classroom of the Future" will be built at the Bruce Power Training Centre, located in the former W.E. Thompson School, at the corner of Princes and Russell Streets, near downtown Kincardine.

John Peevers, manager of investor and media relations at Bruce Power, says the classroom is a prototype for a training facility slated for the Bruce Power site five-plus years from now.

He says the classroom will feature the most up-to-date technology, including smartboards, video-conferencing, and a high-end sound system. It will also create opportunities to connect directly to conference rooms, using the same technology on the Bruce site.
 

Cost of the classroom is budgeted at $350,000. Bruce Power is assuming all costs through an agreement with the Municipality of Kincardine which includes all renovations to the training centre facility using local contractors.
