For some time the Durham County District High School Board entertained the possibility that within a few years Bowmanville would need a new secondary school. Rather than wait until the need was urgent, and armed with this foresight, the Board acquired 20 acres of land lying on the east side of Liberty Street, opposite the foot of Carlisle Avenue. This was in the year 1965. Three years later initial meetings were held with the Toronto firm of architects, known then as Pentland, Baker and Poulson. In 1968 a lay- out of the new building was presented to the Board. From that beginning and after many meetings the final plan was drafted. During the planning stage the Durham County District High School Board was replaced by the Nor- thumberland Durham Board of Education. The planning was completed under the latter Board and finally in 1970 a contract for construction was awarded to the construction firm of Stewart and Hinan of St. Catherines. Com- pletion date was set for the spring of 1972. The school is designed to accommodate 1200 students and includes academic, commercial and technical departments. The academic area includes 12 standard classrooms, 6 Now laboratories, including an arboratum, 2 geography rooms, rooms for music, art and home economics, 2 lecture rooms and 4 rooms for small group seminars. The commercial area is comprised of 6 special rooms for business training while the technical area in- cludes 5 shops plus 2 drafting rooms along with 3 areas for special training. An audio-visual room has been provided so that sound and pic- ture may be transmitted to each instructional area. The whole is complemented by a spacious gymnasium, a library, a cafeteria and an auditorium with 615 seats. The auditorium in- cludes a well equipped stage and projection room. The town of Bowmanville contributed generously to the financing of the auditorium, and it is hopeful that the community will make use of these facilities. The building, almost windowless, is air con- ditioned and the system of heating makes use of body heat and supplementary electric heating. It is also designed for future expansion. The school is well planned and equipped and, hopefully, meets the needs of modern education. and Then
