David Cameron Elementary Modular Addition

David Cameron Elementary Modular Addition

The David Cameron Elementary School Modular Addition spans 9,700 ft² and introduces eight new classrooms, two special education rooms, centralized washrooms, and shared project spaces to the existing school campus in Victoria, BC. Set on a concrete pile foundation, the structure integrates seamlessly with the operational campus, expanding learning capacity with minimal disruption.

The school district aimed to create more than just additional space, they wanted bright, inspiring classrooms that would spark curiosity and make students excited to learn. The goal was to build flexible, welcoming environments that support a variety of learning styles while meeting all Ministry of Education standards.

Constructing a large-scale modular addition on an active school site required careful planning to ensure safety, uninterrupted access, and efficient staging. Managing this while maintaining full school operations and meeting high performance and design standards was the top priority.

The build features a central 4-metre-wide corridor, finished with wood slat ceilings, that also functions as a collaborative project zone. Interiors use Falkbuilt modular systems for efficiency and adaptability, including operable wall systems in select classrooms. The roofing system combines sloped triple-layer EXO panels over classrooms, ensuring durability and energy efficiency.

A standout feature of the addition is it’s bold and lively exterior entryway that is flanked by two stunning colorful gable walls. Large, operable windows enhance natural daylighting and ventilation throughout.

This project for School District 62 (Sooke) was completed in close collaboration with StudioHuB Architects and a team of highly skilled consultants. David Cameron’s addition showcases EXO’s commitment to delivery high-quality, sustainable learning environments for BC schools.
