Grandview Heights Secondary School is a new three-storey school with a capacity of up to 1,500 students, situated in South Surrey, BC’s largest school district. Although the school is relatively large, its impact on the environment is minimal, as Station One Architects has designed its footprint to be as controlled as possible. Key design drivers that have been incorporated in the project include 21st Century learning principles, affordability, adaptability, accessibility, and durability.

The project features a central atrium space complemented with acoustic dowel laminated timber panels, creating an iconic vaulted entrance to the building.
