In a February 1958 issue of the RAIC, Regent Park Public School is described as follows:

The building structure is two-storey, reinforced concrete and bearing wall design. The floors in the corridors and washrooms are terrazzo; classrooms are linoleum and vinyl tile. Acoustic ceilings have been used generally throughout the building, with walls of slag block painted to provide a pleasant enviroment for the occupants, with all chalkboard of green Lite-Site for eye comfort.

The building is heated by two oil-fired boilers which supply a two-pipe heating system with automatic temperature controls in each classroom. The school is ventilated by a modern system of filtered, humidified and tempered air which is pumped to all classrooms, with a separate system for isolating the General Purpose Room. All foul air is pumped to the atmosphere.

The original Duke of York Public School was housed in an older building on Pembroke Street. Due to declining enrolment and a community demand for a Public French School, the Duke of York School was transferred to the Regent Park School building. In the early 1980s, the two schools were formally amalgamated into one.
