Classy future

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2004 / September 11

The new high school for peninsular Halifax is a simple, elegant building, the main architect Rick Buhr said at an unveiling of the winning design yesterday. The architectural firm Fowler Bauld and Mitchell won the right to build the $21-million school that will accommodate 1,200 students. It will replace Queen Elizabeth and St. Patrick’s high schools in September 2006. “It is a very simple building, and it responds to the specific requirements of the province and to its unique setting on the Common adjacent to Citadel Hill,” he said at a news conference held at the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame. The new school will be built on Bell Road, on the site of the Nova Scotia Community College, also built by Fowler Bauld and Mitchell in the 1940s.
