Our New location in conveniently located just at 8 minute walk from the Franklin LRT station, making us accessible for transit users.

Our new Barlow Campus is approximately 24,000 square feet, similar in size to our current location. We will occupy the entire west side of the main floor (the school side), along with one-third of the east side for administrative offices, therapy spaces, a library, pull-out rooms, and a staff room.

The campus will include a newly built gym, comparable in size to our current one (without a stage), a sensory gym, a calm room and a quiet room, as well as a secure, fenced-in green space with a new playground for outdoor learning and play.

Located close to an LRT station, community services, and amenities like a grocery store and We Rock the Spectrum, the building offers great accessibility. Like our Sunalta campus, it is a multi-tenant space with secure key card access to ensure student safety.

To ensure student safety, all student access to the new building will be through the back (north) side. The front entrance is reserved for other building occupants, no student or parent access will be permitted through the front of the building. As with our current campus, all entry points will be secured with a key fob and lock system to maintain a safe and controlled environment.
