The Artscape Youngplace project re-imagines the heritage designated Shaw Street School building as an innovative centre for the arts community. Originally constructed in 1914, the school was declared surplus by the Toronto District School Board in 2001, henceforth sitting vacant. In 2006, the Toronto District School Board hired not-for-profit group Artscape to conduct a feasibility study of its potential reuse. This study, which included extensive community consultation, demonstrated strong community support for repurposing the site as a centre for arts and community programming. After undergoing a $17 million, three-year renovation and remediation process led by Teeple Architects, with The Dalton Company, it now stands as a hugely popular community cultural hub—a destination and resource for the community, and a sustainable space for local artists and cultural creators.
Today, the centre hosts private artist studios and creative workspaces, in addition to contemporary art galleries, performance and training facilities, a café and family resources to support the local community, screenings, openings, performances, exhibitions and events. Owners and tenants in the revitalized Beaux Arts building include an array of individuals and not-for-profit organizations working in diverse fields, such as music, theatre, contemporary art, photography, performance, textiles and arts education. The project also includes 9,350 square feet of public gallery space that occupy the hallways and stairwells of the facility.
Teeple Architects worked closely with Goldsmith Borgal & Company Associates – the project’s heritage consultant – to develop a design that will both reinvigorate this important heritage asset and create a dynamic new community resource.
