École secondaire publique Louis-Riel (Louis Riel secondary school) opened in the fall of 1980. The name Louis Riel was chosen by the students in 1981.
Phase 1 of the school's construction finished in 1980, accommodating 250 students from the Gloucester region in the east end of Ottawa. Phase 2 was completed in 1982 featuring the school gymnasiums, cafeteria, and science and tech labs.
In 2003, a new annex was added, to accommodate grade 7 and 8 students. The school had previously only accommodated students from grades 9 through 12.
The school now serves approximately 1100 students.
[edit] Dome
In 2005, a 12,328m2 dome, North America’s largest air supported fabric structure[1], opened to the public. The dome's construction was a joint project by the Ottawa Lions Track & Field Club and the CEPEO. Built to cover the school's existing track, the dome made it possible for Louis-Riel to offer a new Sports program to the region's students, in addition to providing extra track and field training facilities to the Ottawa Lions.
The dome contains:
- 4 lanes of 400m and 6 lanes of 110m running track
- a full size sport field (which can be divided into 3 smaller fields)
- an activity/meeting room
- 8 change rooms
- weight training room
