The Ivor Dent Replacement School is an adaptation of a core school design to consolidate three existing schools located in the Rundle Heights Community. Through various tours and discussions, the project team developed a detailed program that facilitated the needs, objectives, and goals of each school, their various support groups, and the supporting communities.
Design Concept
The overall design concept includes spatial strategies that bring together students, teachers, families, and support organizations into one unified supportive environment. Through program resizing, a variety of supplement spaces including break-out rooms, flex spaces, and a community core are included in the school plan and provide a collaborative environment that facilitates multiple modes of teaching and learning.
