Project Description
Public Architecture is leading the seismic replacement of Pitt Meadows Secondary School, prioritizing campus continuity throughout construction. The three-storey design anchors a central academic core between a low-profile shop wing and a dedicated athletics-theatre hub. The design is neighbourly by orienting the low-profile wing eastward to respect privacy. The new LEED Gold–target school will provide 1,100 students with a safe, energy-efficient space for evolving community needs.
