York Region School for Athletics and Healthy Active LivingImages
First Floor PlanThe planning of the 4-storey building is organized on two axis, namely the 'Academic Axis' and the 'Athletic Axis'. The 'two axis' orientation allows the athletic areas of the school to be available for 24/7 use, controlled and locked off from the academic part of the building as desired. The two axes meet at the student forum, an open, double height central gathering space for the school. The forum is the Epicenter of the school, a place where athletics, academics and social activities casually converge. Adjacent rooms such as the lecture hall will serve the dual function of accommodating the school's students as well as serving as an orientation centre for visiting schools and teams. Administration areas of the school are strategically positioned to provide natural supervision and overview, particularly where main entrances are created. Within the athletic section of the school, the circulation system separates athletes from spectators, allowing for ticketed sporting events and security for athletes.
