Location: Toronto, ON, Canada

Scope: Architecture, Master Planning

Client: Royal St. George’s College

Architect: Farrow Partners

Farrow Partners has been engaged in the ongoing renovation of Royal St. George’s College in Toronto, Canada including work in the Junior and Middle Schools featuring Ketchum Hall and the new Centre for the Arts and Student Commons. This campus-wide renovation is strategically phased across six packages of work that can be undertaken over the summer months, minimising impact on operations during school terms.

The Senior School Addition will include a 6-classroom wing that spans dramatically overtop a sunken playing field, with the potential to host another 6 classrooms in the future . The structural timber truss that facilitates this span is the defining tectonic gesture of the new building. Frosted glazed flooring throughout the central circulation and breakout spaces allows natural light to pierce through the new wing and into the playing field below.
