We are thrilled to announce we have exceeded our Light The Way capital campaign goal and have now finalized the plans for the new academic building known henceforth as West Lake House. We are excited to share the plans with everyone in our community.
to the dedication of everyone who has been involved in this project. One potential addition to our green infrastructure could be a green roof atop West Lake House. If built, this roof would be visible from adjoining buildings and serve not only as a beautiful addition but as a constant reminder of the importance of action in support of the environment.
Thanks to our generous donors, the Light The Way campaign has raised $17.9 million, exceeding our goal of $10 million. With the funds raised, and financing secured, we are in a solid financial position to proceed with tendering construction for West Lake House.
This is an important milestone in the school’s history. We are creating an environment that supports our unique approach to teaching and learning. This will be an environment where we can inspire and equip our students by delivering a challenging and engaging program that reflects the continuous pursuit of academic excellence and one that nurtures and develops leadership, creativity and social responsibility.
“This building is the result of the vision and support of so many within the PC community. We appreciate the involvement of those who have contributed ideas and feedback that makes this a bright, innovative addition to the PC campus, and the many donors who have given their financial support to West Lake House,” says Peter Sturrup, Head of School. We are pleased to be working with Knightstone Capital Management Inc. as our Project Manager, Diamond Schmitt as our Architects and Eastern Construction Co. Ltd. as our Construction Manager. Our second submission for Site Plan Approval is with the Town of Newmarket, and we have applied for a conditional building permit for below grade work. The full building permit will be submitted mid May. The Board of Directors of Pickering College has approved tendering of the full project and we expect all the major components to be tendered by June. “The integration of sustainability into the design of this building is a testament
West Lake House will be located on what is currently north field. This fullyaccessible building will be architecturally innovative and set a very modern tone, incorporating our approach to teaching and learning in its design. Using materials including metal, wood and glass, its design will maintain our strong sense of community, history and traditions, while focusing on sustainability. Following the Quaker building principles of incorporating light, symmetry, simplicity, community, sustainability and fine craftsmanship into the design, West Lake
WEST LAKE HOUSE IS A STEP CLOSER TO REALITY
Announcing a new academic building at Pickering College
Why call it West Lake House? Giving our new academic building the name West Lake House serves to remind us that Pickering College was founded by Quakers in West Lake, Ontario. The first incarnation of Pickering College—West Lake Boarding School—opened in 1842. This name provides a connection from the Quaker roots of Pickering College and highlights the role of Quakerism as unique and defining aspect of our school. House will give us more learning space than we have in our existing buildings. We are excited about what this visionary build will mean for our students, our programs and for the entire Pickering College community. “We are eagerly anticipating the breaking of ground, and the construction of the most significant addition to the PC campus for this generation of students. We are grateful to the parents, alumni, faculty, staff and volunteers who have made donations to make this build possible. This is a significant addition to the campus that promises to provide our community with an inspired space for learning,” says Mirella Morra, Chair of the Board of Directors. West Lake House will include a new Junior School wing with classrooms for Junior Kindergarten to Grade 5 and a Junior Learning Commons; it will include an Arts wing with speciallydesigned classrooms for music, art and
drama; a new Theatre that will allow for theater-style music and drama performances as well as full-school Morning Meetings; a Science Wing with classrooms for physics, chemistry, biology and robotics; and a Senior and Middle School Learning Commons that will support collaborative, creative learning, research and presentations. The main floor will feature the spaces most accessed by the entire school and our outside community, including the theatre and our radio station 102.7 CHOP FM. “This is a significant addition to our classroom and community space. We look forward to not only welcoming students and staff to West Lake house but having parents, alumni, and the broader community join us for special events. We will keep the community up to date with construction progress and anticipate welcoming everyone into the building for the 2023/2024 school year,” explains Peter Sturrup.
Construction PUMA: Your Safety Partner
The safety of our students, staff and visitors to our campus is our primary concern throughout the construction period of West Lake House. Please watch for Construction PUMA communications regarding progress on the build, advising of traffic pattern changes, etc.
We are committed to retaining a close relationship with our Quaker heritage providing a philosophical, moral and operational framework for planning and decision-making. In a time of rapid change and uncertainty, West Lake House will continue to connect us with tradition and stability. In addition, this name emphasizes the Quaker influence at PC today—our valuesbased education—which will continue to differentiate us in an increasingly competitive environment.
