Design Characteristics

• There is only one way to add to a 1914 old beauty of a school, and that is with panache - while the 1965 gym added to Earl Grey School is not large, it was added in the study because it is a rare example of its type; to a compact cube of brown brick was added a wavy roofline with projecting eaves in contrasting metal
• The waves probably simply continue the steel trusses of the roof but on the exterior it is both whimsical and attention-grabbing
• The gym addition is linked on the northwest side of the building and lets onto the rear yard
• Earl Grey School was a Canadian pilot project as the first middle years school
