Description

This is a new 2-storey, 11 classroom and library addition to a 1-storey core building. The original school was designed by our firm in 1982. The current student enrollment has grown to 580 students. Although the school is adjacent to a park, it has limited flat land. The L-shaped plan with a 2-storey building was designed to minimize re-grading for an expanded building imprint. Site improvements to storm water drainage ameliorated the play area around the building.

Addition will be used for grades 7 and 8.
