A Future Uses Study for the former Holy Angels High School and Convent site in Sydney has been completed. Community development corporation New Dawn Enterprises commissioned the study in August of last year to look at possible uses for the buildings. It was carried out by Toronto-based Lord Cultural Resources. New Dawn says the study concludes that there’s a local need for social innovation, art and culture centres. The organization also notes that great strides have been made in transforming the former High School into the New Dawn Centre for Social Innovation in the past year. It adds there are now more than a dozen tenants in the building. New Dawn says the study also reveals that the adjoining former convent building needs substantial renovation and the effort to raise money to carry out the work will now get underway.
