Bishop Strachan School

Student Centre

Toronto, Ontario

 Stakeholders of The Bishop Strachan School contacted Farrow Partnership to create a vision for the new student centre. The goal was to expand the facilities to encase an open space / atrium to provide students with a place to meet during academic down time. Fully glazed along its length, the centre creates a dialogue with the school’s historic façade across the open court. Set against this rich backdrop, the ensemble of rough-hewn stone and warm woods respect the school’s architectural tradition but also communicates a contemporary freshness.  Farrow Partnership assisted the school with its fundraising campaign and in turn the budget requirements for the additions and renovations were met.
