Tearing Down The Walls

If teachers, students and parents could design a school campus, what would they create?

We spoke with JUDY COOPER, Principal at Nexus International School, about the school’s unique new campus that’s set to open in January of 2020.

Who designed the new-look Nexus?

We have been very fortunate to work alongside architects Broadway Malyan to help design our dream campus; however, our whole school has been involved in the process. Teachers helped design the innovative learning spaces. Our Aquatics Director designed an amazing aquatic centre with an Olympic-sized pool and state-of-the-art time-keeping touchpads. Our Health & Physical Education team designed the field and gym halls; the Music Department collaborated on the recording studios, jam rooms and mixing room; and the Arts Department created space for kilns and exhibitions. Our staff know what spaces they need to teach, what our children need to thrive and even what parents need to best support their kids. This school has been designed for children by the people that spend their days working with them.
