TOC Office




"I would like us to have common room/work space for temporary/TOC teachers to store their binders/projects, etc. 


Currently, many temporary teachers have to travel from one room to the next and often have to carry their belongings with them, because they have no place to store them. 


More importantly, if the temporary staff has to share their classrooms with other teachers, they are often left without a computer to continue doing their work."

Custodial staff





I know nothing... Time for competent people to step up!

Storage? Offices? Private space? Equipment?


Benches, picnic tables




Where do you want these? Any special requests?



A safe and respectful smoking area?



Because nothing screams RESPECTFUL like cigarette butts all over the ground.







Bus / parent drop off


So, where do we want the fumes?


Green building




The greener, the better, right?

Courtyard? Balconies? Patios?




What if we found a safe way to open some of those windows and enjoy the sun?

How about winter?





Energy savings, snow removal, non-slippery sidewalks...

How do we turn cold weather and snow into assets?

How about a skating rink?

Art Dept





Working space? Storage? Display? Photo lab? Gallery?

The creek




Do we want to incorporate water in the design? How?



Peace Pole, Teepee, Bear, garden...



How do we display the Peace Pole, the Teepee, the Bear?

What to do with the indigenous garden? Do we want a greenhouse? How do we make it nice?

Storage / Bookrooms



One storage room per class? Per department? Per floor?

Medical room


How worried are we about the future of public education?

Tech room



Visionaries welcome.

Computer labs / Techno centres



The way technology evolves, we need some good minds looking at this one.

Shops / Drafting


How is this going to work?

Theatre



How do we improve on the Key City building?

Drama Dept



Wild Theatre needs a nice home: how will it be?


Using the scenery

Orientation, windows, plants, perspectives, ...

Tell us what you think.


Language lab




Personally, I wouldn't change a thing from this photo. If you have other ideas, express yourself—in English, if you must.



Music department



What do we need? What do we want?

Foods

Needs and wishes, of course, but we may also want to think about giving students the means to feed themselves, raise funds, etc.

Maybe we can steal a few ideas from the Class Act?

Science




Biology / Chemistry / Forestry / Physics / Science / Science 'n' Tech


Lots of equipment, lab stuff, chemicals (still playing with mercury?), dead rodents, textbooks, etc. all the while keeping students safe and engaged: this department deserves our full attention.



Art gallery



Do we need a specific space or do we display art in the space we already have?

Where? How?

Entrances, hallways



How do we make people feel welcome?



How do we help everyone find their way?


How do we manage space so people can actually move between classes?


How do we facilitate recycling?
