firm Cooper Robertson to create a master plan that
would translate our strategic vision into an inspiring and
thoughtful blueprint for the future.
LCIS will become one school with two physical campuses,
separated by less than half a mile. Our design will allow
us to retain the intimacy of a neighbourhood school, with
close relationships between teachers, students and
parents, yet be large enough to support the programmes
expected of a premier educational institution.
The master plan allows us to support progressive
educational opportunities and programmes for our
students in the short term, while giving us the flexibility to
evolve over time as we continue to provide our students
with the best teaching and learning experiences in the
region.
UPPER SCHOOL
This campus will eventually serve up to 350 students in
Grades 6-12 and will allow for greater programmatic choice
driven by the range of academic opportunities in the IB
curriculums. The Upper School’s scope of construction
will address the 21st-century learning needs of students
and provide a technology-rich environment that includes
general classrooms, science labs, a STEAM Makerspace,
language labs and dedicated studios for music and art.
Students’ experiences will be further enriched by an
indoor multipurpose space for assemblies, performing
arts and athletics, and custom-built outdoor sporting
facilities including tennis courts and a competiton-size
pool. Additional facilities include a learning commons,
courtyards, green space, dining hall, ample parking and
the administrative space required to support students
in Grades 6-12. The expansion will serve to immediately
alleviate space constraints on the existing campus while
allowing for some incremental growth.
Future phases will further enhance our ability to fulfil
the strategic vision for our students. This vision includes
additional state-of-the-art classroom buildings; expanded
indoor-outdoor dining hall; a track and field facility that
meets international competition standards; additional
green space for gathering with an outdoor amphitheater
and possible sites for housing students and faculty.
