Elgin & Coronation Public School

Waterloo District School Board

Cambridge, ON

The WRDSB retained LGA to design classroom additions at Elgin Street Public School and Coronation Public School. The classrooms will accommodate the new full-day learning program for Junior & Senior Kindergarten students.

Elgin Street Public School added three new Kindergarten classrooms onto a school constructed in the 1990s, creating an L-shaped Kindergarten wing that forms a sheltered play area for the young students. The playground side is animated with a grid of colour and windows based on the proportions of the existing window system. Inside the classrooms are zones for various activity types, such as a story time area and a quiet play nook, which are differentiated using splashes of colour and windows framing views.
