Nice fence.

Anyone know who owns Brockton Stadium? It looks like the school will use it as their playing field. I think it may be rented out to Sporting Academy Toronto by the TDSB, and they plan to reclaim it when the school's up and running?

Well that's one heck of an ugly design. It's like they are mixing the TDSBs late 90s/early 00s designs (which were fairly decent) with the modern day ugly design.

 

[ADRM]

This is atrocious, even for the TDSB (which is saying something). What a shame.

Snyder appears to be the Kirkor of educational architecture in this town.

Sigh.

The client doesn't help any; but there's no real excuse.

Looks like something that could be out on the fringes of Cambridge.

While there's lots of room for improvements here...

...that cantilever though, goodness. And I detect some red.

Schools used to have consistently good architecture back in the day...sigh.

I dunno man, my high school was a 60s concrete and dark red brick bunker. The inside was well maintained, and it was sturdily built. But it looked fairly drab on the outside.

Mine was an ugly dump too (Michael Power) - I was referring more to decades prior to the 50's...

There were a lot of great post-WWII designs as well like Davisville Junior Public School, Lord Lansdowne Junior Public School, and Carleton Village Junior and Senior Public School. I think the TDSB is dropping the ball on a tradition of building great buildings.
