  • Wilson School – closed in 1993 and amalgamated with North Park School to become North Park Wilson School; later becoming the First Nations University of Canada (FNUC) in Saskatoon. In 2011, FNUC sold the building to Affinity Credit Union who is currently converting it to an office.
  • McNab Park School (formerly Air Marshall Curtis School) – closed in the early 1980s and demolished soon after. After sitting as a vacant lot for decades, the site is now part of a new hotel and business district being developed near the airport.
  • King Edward School – Originally built in 1904 in the downtown where it doubled as City Hall until demolition in 1956; a replacement school in City Park, adjacent to Kinsmen Park, operated until 1980 when it closed after a fire. The building was demolished and was replaced by King Edward Place, a low-cost housing development.
  • Riverview Collegiate Institute, formerly Saskatoon Technical Collegiate for quick entry into the workplace, including learning trades. It was built in 1931 along the riverbank in the Central Business District. This high school also housed the Saskatoon Public School Board administrative offices and was called the Gathercole Centre. The school was decommissioned in the 1990s and the school board relocated its offices to the Eaton's Building in the 2000s. After a brief stint as a filming location, the building was demolished in the late 2000s to make way for the city's River Landing redevelopment. As of 2019 the ALT Hotel now stands where Riverview/Gathercole Centre used to be.
gollark: <@151391317740486657> I considered it for Chorus City, but it would have been pointless.
gollark: Nobody made one. That is why.
gollark: Alternate solution: switch to FULL COMMUNISM and don't have a shop.
gollark: Solution: make your own city and make your own mall in it.
gollark: Wait, that's illegal.
