Project Summary

The New Tecumseth Administration Centre is an adaptive reuse of the former Alliston Union Public School. The design repurposes the core structure of the school and includes the addition of new double-height gallery, which features a timber roof, as well as an upgrade to the building envelope to improve thermal performance. The building features Douglas fir glue-laminated timber beams and exposed Spruce-Pine-Fir roof decking.
