A four-storey building. As part of this project, the VBE will work with the City of Vancouver to incorporate community accessible spaces within the school. Highlights of the new school include:
  • floor area of nearly 48,000 ft2 (4,464 m2);
  • spaces for 60 full-day kindergarten students (three classrooms);
  • spaces for 450 Grade 1-7 students (18 classrooms);
  • before and after school care program for up to 60 children;
  • community use spaces within the school (ground-level gymnasium and multi-purpose rooms) accessible after school hours; and,
  • building design that will meet a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) GOLD standard.
The school will have several outdoor activity and play areas on the elevated terraces.
