$5Women In Architecture – Crosstown Elementary School: Site Tour Follow Up
This three-story, in-fill building designed by Francl Architecture, is integrated into the mixed-use Firenze development in Vancouver. It will accommodate 510 students from kindergarten to Grade 7 and was built above an existing parkade. Andy Livingstone Park acts as its outdoor play area. The school features small learning communities within the larger facility. Each community consists of 3-4 classrooms clustered around a large commons as well as a special education service area. This layout allows for groups of variable size and activities from messy, active explorations through to quiet, reflective learning. The facility supports a diverse student population and a range of educational modalities while providing a space for teachers to plan, prepare and collaborate with one other. In September, 2016 WIA hosted a tour of this new school during construction. This is a follow-up tour of the completed project.
