This building was opened in 1957 as a small day school for deaf students; it was given a large addition in 1972 to convert it to a school for children who were mentally challenged
In 1989, that school closed and re-opened as the Prince Charles Education Resource Centre for professional staff in this division
While certainly vestiges of the early school remain, especially on the north side, most of the facade has been altered severely, windows removed and walls resurfaced
Original with a long and narrow footprint running parallel to the street, it now extends back wider, and wraps around a lovely courtyard with one or two big trees, protected on the north side by a three-bay concrete screen
The main entrance has been given a mansard roof to tie it with an auditorium addition on the northeast end, as well as a facing of fieldstone
The yard to the rear is huge and reaches all the way north to Tec Voc School
