OVERVIEW
In 2010 The Colborne Architectural Group Pacific Inc. was engaged by the Vancouver School Board to create a model ‘learning community’ in a section of an existing 1960’s open area elementary school. The open area space was demised to create a series of learning studios of varying sizes centered around a learning commons to demonstrate and test the principles that are being incorporated into a number of new schools in Vancouver. The intention is to offer an environment that enables and facilitates 21st century learning techniques by allowing optimum flexibility while allowing for differing learning/ teaching methods by providing spaces of differing size and character.
