Resource and Science Centre
  • In January 1970, as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebration, fundraising began for a new Resource area and science labs. The Resource and Science Centre was constructed in 1972 to connect the Memorial Classroom building with the Gymnasium. The Architects were Stafford, Haensli and the Contractors were Ivey-Dreger Construction Limited. It formed a purposeful quadrangle and a causeway (breezeway) linking the east and west playing fields. The centre initially held the school's library, later known as the Raymond Massey Library (named in 1983), and science laboratories. In 2007 the space became known as the Student Centre, with the Beasley Guidance centre, the Student Success Centre, the Barr Common Room, as well as classrooms, science labs and administrative offices. In 2021 the Student Success Centre moved to the library, and the Archives moved into the space beside the LEC classroom. In 1995-1996, Appleby Arts students painted murals on the bricks throughout the breezeway corridor. These were later covered when the space was enclosed for office space.
