This bright, open and modern grade 9-12 High School has been designed to accommodate 1600 students in Grande Prairie, Alberta. The main entrance is covered by a grand canopy that this an extension of the second story facade. From the main entrance students and visitors are greeted with a large, open 2 story gathering space that acts as the central hub of the school. From this space, students can access the 3 story classroom wing, the 2 story Learning Commons, the 4 station Gymnasium, the CTS wing and the Performing Arts wing. The design of the school intends to evoke the feeling of a postsecondary
