Founded in 1903, Branksome Hall, an independent school for girls, had accumulated 13 acres of land and buildings over five decades in an exquisite ravine setting.
In 2000, &Co was commissioned to design a Master Plan to guide the future development of this unique campus in the heart of Toronto made up of architecturally diverse, historic residential buildings, large playing fields on a lower plain, the Rosedale Valley Ravine edge and a mixture of handsome open spaces. The Master Plan identified key landscape and architectural projects for the school’s Centennial Campaign.
&Co also obtained an Official Plan Amendment and a comprehensive rezoning for the entire Branksome campus and laid out a plan to accommodate new program requirements within the framework of the rezoned lands.
&Co has since been involved in projects such as the Junior School Commons, Principal’s House, Coach House and dozens of significant school upgrade projects.
