Southpointe Academy

New School Project

New School Project

We have moved from our current, leased premises to our new fully-owned premises in January of 2012.

The move has been made possible by the extraordinary support of our parent body who have loaned us, as of October 1 2011, $6.8 million by purchasing Southpointe Bonds, and the Toronto Dominion Bank, who have loaned us $10.5 million at a most favourable interest rate.

Our new school, to be built to LEED Silver standards has 68,000 square feet of space on four floors and comprises:

· Classrooms

· Seminar Rooms

· Art Room

· Double Gymnasium with spectator bleachers for 200

· Spacious entrance lobby with offices adjacent

· EduCafe with servery

· Three science laboratories

· One media arts/IT laboratory

· A two-storey library

· A Drama studio

· A large music room for Band, Choir and individual practice

· A performance theatre with raked seating for 180

· Two Commons areas

· Two Conference Rooms

· A Fitness Centre

· A Faculty Lounge and Workroom

· All necessary washrooms, lockers etc.

· A grand outdoor terrace on the top floor

The building will benefit from state-of-the-art communications infrastructure to serve Smart Boards, laptops, telephony, broadcasting etc.

Outdoors there is play space and playground equipment.

Ground was broken in October 2010, with completion scheduled for December 2011.

The school will accommodate up to 575 students.
