This school project was inspired by the town’s long history of shipbuilding and was designed with a nautical theme. The front entrance resembles the bow of a ship with exposed steel structure and suspension steel cables. The marine character continues through the porthole windows in the kindergarten room and wood piling used in the library. The library roof was designed to emulate the wheelhouse of a ship. The colours of the terrazzo flooring reflect the colours of the sea, while the large compass symbolizes navigation into the future.
Exterior building materials and detailing were based on the original Admiral Collingwood School, which had a long history and fond memories for many people in town.
