1890: Original school completed, designed by James Augustus Ellis.

1914: Addition by John Gemmell.

1916: Addition by John MacNee Jeffrey.

An addition was completed by Taylor Smyth Architects in 2016. To address the increase in student population, a two storey addition was built on the south end of the school, comprised of 15 classrooms, including a state-of-the art science-art-tech suite. The street-facing facade will make use of standard masonry cavity construction with rich iron-spot bricks, exhibiting the strong masonry character of the existing school, while adding a touch of colour through the use of painted sun screens on the south edges of the windows, which not only add visual interest, but also provide passive cooling. The portion of the building facing the park is clad in aluminum panels, distinct from the rest of the building, shimmering through the trees, and continues the play of colours introduced in the street-side facade. A continuous band of windows at the base of the building lightens the visual mass of the addition, while allowing as much light as possible into the lowest level of the school. The FDK fit-up involves converting an existing meeting room into a shared cubby and washroom area between 2 classrooms. In addition, the two classrooms received new millwork specifically designed to suit program needs and new cubbies were provided for existing kindergarten rooms. Additional project features: -Two storey classroom addition to an existing occupied school -17 new classrooms and 2 resource rooms -Science/art-tech suite equipped with wood working equipment, and wood benches. -Constructed on a landfill, the project required deep concrete caisson foundations, and a methane gas collection system -A brick masonry street wall with colourful metal “blades” extend the massing of the existing school -Prefinished corrugated metal panels, and aluminum glazing punctuated with coloured metal panels overlook the park like playground
