Mother Teresa Secondary School

Location: Scarbrough, Canada
Gross Floor Area: 142,000 sq.ft

Tradition has proved that the experience of learning is gained through a conscious balance of theory and practice. This balance is expressed in the architecture of the new Mother Teresa Catholic School. The theory oriented classroom dialogue takes place in the centre. The more active practical works such as scientific experiments, wood working, painting, sculpting and acting are held inside a big and day lighted enclosure. The juxtapositioning and overlapping of different activities provokes interaction and enhance the place as a forum of learning.
