KIRKLAND LAKE 7-12 SCHOOL

KIRKLAND LAKE, ONTARIO

The Kirkland Lake 7-12 School replaced an aging secondary and portions of the elementary schools.

The new facility is strategically located adjacent to the Community Complex, cross-country ski trails and scenic Gull Lake. As a result, it is anticipated that physical education and science programmes will be immediately enhanced.

The elementary wing is located on the ground floor and has its own entrance in close proximity to the bus drop-off. Because of this amalgamation, enhancements to the overall programme were possible due to the impact of the increased school body. These include special education programmes, a cafetorium, a music programme, triple gymnasiums, etc.

The Grade 7-8 pupils will have the benefit of Science labs, technical shop facilities, art rooms and a fully-serviced library. The new building is designed using wireless technology, distance learning labs, robotics labs and a co-operative hospitality programme.
