In 2014 the school received funding for a new $17 million wing for grades seven and eight which officially opened, along with a new office and guidance department, on December 3rd, 2015, despite having been in use since the start of the school year as of early September 2015. The wing was created in order to relieve over-crowding from two feeder schools. The new two-story wing features 25 classrooms, a double gymnasium, two music rooms, and a drama room. It shares the cafeteria, library, computer labs, an auditorium with the high school. The new wing has already elected its own student council, put on its own musical, created its own band and arts programs, and has started several other traditions. The office and guidance spaces were created on the first floor, directly below where they used to be on the second. The old office and guidance spaces were turned into an exercise gym and a community living class respectively. The new office contains 10 new offices for principals and councillors, a meeting room, new working areas for the office secretaries and guidance technician, better storage and archive space, a new PA system for the school to replace the old original one. The entire area is laid out to optimize the tight space. This new wing means the Earl of March is the first school in the OCDSB to switch from a 9-12 to a 7-12 and the second school to follow the 7-12 model.
