Penal vibes.

Metal detectors and armed guards and we're good to go. /bleh

Today.

They appear to be re-applying the cladding. Notice the school board signage, seen in last September’s photos, has been taken down.

I think the inmates here will be pleased with the "new look" to their holding areas....

From Christmas morning. The exterior appears to be complete.

Just to flag @Paclo just noticed the address in the DB is wrong for this one, and accordlingly the pin is misplaced on the map.

Address is: 24 Mountjoy Ave

I guess it wasn't a total defacement...

It'll look great in architectural photos and lousy in person, especially as the metal cladding ages.

Many have remarked on the prison vibes of the building, and it's unclear if it looks more penal before or after.

Wartime bunker before, modern penal now. Gotta love that lone colourful window frame too. The design is very human, the children will be very happy.

I'd take the bunker over the modern penal any day. The former feels less of a gulag. Just saying....

Thanks, fixed!

I’m oddly warming up to the reno. The selection of the grey panels appears to respect the original better than the initial renders. The landscaping is above average for a school.

Extraordinarily, spectacularly ugly. It’s impressive, in a way.

If it keeps the inmates secured for public safety, who are we to complain what it looks like on the outside...

...oh wait, I keep forgetting this is a school! >.<
