Timberbank Junior Public School, Agincourt, Ont.
Architects: John Sullivan & Joseph Pacek, Don Mills, Ont. Mason Contractor: Deluca & Mascarin Masonry Contractors Ltd., Toronto. A steel grid and flexible system of mechanical and electrical components make possible the convenient subdivision of the large spaces should educational patterns change. Masonry is used largely as a weather barrier and occasionally as a structural element. The small dimension of brick is a valuable component in keeping the school "child-size."
Toronto French School, Toronto.
Architects: Brook, Carruthers, Grierson, Shaw, Toronto. Mason Contractor: Kay Masonry & Stone Construction Ltd., Downsview, Ont. This three-story structure is designed around a glazed courtyard with access at a level midway between the lower two floors. Corridors utilize tactile materials including natural brown quarry tile, brick and cedar.
York Square, Toronto.
Architects: A.J. Diamond & Barton Myers, Toronto. Mason Contractor: laver Investments Ltd., Toronto. The passageway between quaint stores leads past the irregular backs of old buildings in a brick-paved courtyard that gives York Square its "square." To frame the courtyard, the architects demolished half of a semi-detached house and designed a new two-story brick building at the back of the deep site as a social center.
