Bell High School Redevelopment
Ottawa, Ontario - Ottawa-Carleton District School Board
Bell High School’s 25-acre campus was established in the 1960’s. The original school building is shaped like the letter “E” and is divided into several wings. Each wing contains a different educational discipline. Academically, Bell High School has one of the highest university placement rates in Ottawa and offers a diverse range of academic studies. Bell High School also has a large roster of sports teams.
Campus redevelopment highlights included:
Academic spaces; science lab classrooms and indoor/outdoor collaboration areas for students
Spaces for physical activities; new gymnasium, fitness room, and changerooms, new outdoor basketball court
Accessibility and life safety improvements; accessible washrooms, new universal washrooms, new elevators and barrier-free parking
Energy efficiency; high efficiency lighting and energy efficient glazing in the courtyard
The construction took place while the school was in use, and over the course of three years, not a single day of school was lost due to construction issues.
