The building was demolished and was replaced by King Edward Place, a low-cost housing development.
  • Riverview Collegiate Institute, formerly Saskatoon Technical Collegiate and also known as the Gathercole Centre, colloquially known as "the zoo" due to low academic qualifications – built in 1931 along the riverbank in the Central Business District, this high school also housed the Saskatoon Public School Board administrative offices. The school was decommissioned in the 1990s and the school board relocated its offices 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.
