Notes:

Completed in 1964; designed by Page & Steele.  

From the September 1963 RAIC Journal: "A nine acre estate in a residential neighbourhood was the site of the school. It is basically a two storey structure but takes advantage of a slope in the land so that on the east side it is three storeys. To accommodate 1,200 students, it was designed to reflect the character of the neighbourhood while providing maximum indoor space and occupying minimum land space. The auditorium, planned in the form of a Y, can be divided (by partitions) into three separate team teaching units: the lower section gently slopes up to the fork and the two branches are steeply tiered to the second floor roof level. Exterior materials are dark brown brick and precast concrete."
