Project Address: 66 Dearham Wood, Scarborough, ON M1E 1S4
The existing Poplar Public School building will be replaced with a new school building. The existing building will be demolished, and the site redeveloped to suit the new school layout and outdoor education needs.
The new school building will be constructed of modular mass timber offering several benefits: mass timber is a renewable resource that has a lower embodied carbon impact compared to steel and concrete, it provides a warm aesthetic conducive to learning and occupant’s well being, and the inherent modular construction process will enable faster completion of the project.
The replacement building will provide new classrooms, library, gymnasium, art and science classrooms, and a five-room child care centre.
