I feel like an actual massing model integrated into a site model would be way more informative than a rendering of the massing with some people pasted into it in Photoshop. Is there any PDF document or information from the meeting?

Joe Cressy is working on getting the slides from the meeting posted on his website.

They're planning two elementary schools but no high school?

I know a bunch of people with kids who live in condos downtown. Many are fine living there while their kids are young and in elementary school. But find they need more space once their kids get older. Which means moving out of areas like this.

 

[T-Bor]

I've heard that too. Surely some will end up staying with high-school-aged kids, but CT and Harbord can probably handle it

20 BRUNEL CRT
Ward 20 - Tor & E.York District


The proposed north building will be 2-storeys in height with a partial basement level. It will frame the Fort York Boulevard and Brunel Court frontages in an L shape. The north building will be comprised of the Community Centre, which fronts Fort York Boulevard, and the shared indoor TDSB and TCDSB recreation facilities oriented towards the interior courtyard and Brunel Court frontage. The roof of the building will contain elements of a green roof as well as programmed recreation space, including a multi-sports court, a fitness deck, wellness program space, planting beds, green roof and a running track. The proposed south building will be 3-storeys in height and will front Brunel Court. It will contain the TDSB and TCDSB classrooms and offices integrated throughout all three levels and the child care centre on the ground floor. The midblock pedestrian courtyard will act as the main entrance to the schools and provide for an appropriate student drop-off area that is oriented away from the street.

Are the proposed boundaries for the school known/set?

 

[interchange42]

Catchment area for students? No idea.

Everything else you might want to know about current plans, you should be able to find in this current front page story though!

Before it is too late, consider adding another floor to accommodate the school enrollment increases. This part of the city is booming, and if the rail park gets built, many more families with young kids will want to live in this catchment area. It will be a lot cheaper to add the extra floor now than deal with it later, and the extra space can be rented out until it is needed to cover extra costs.

 

[maestro]

That would be a waste to speculate on future enrollment with their tight budgets. I don't see a park making a difference as long as we continue to building small one bedrooms with demising walls that can't be removed.

 

[Transportfan]

Why would they build basically a suburban building downtown? Why not have "skyscraper schools"?

A mixed-use, street-facing development with underground parking is hardly suburban.
