Kim Hung New K-9 School

Edmonton, Alberta

The Kim Hung New K-9 School is part of a package of three Edmonton Public Schools, each reflecting a commitment to unique design, detail, and client-architect collaboration. With a combined budget of $55 million, these schools will accommodate over 900 students each. While the layouts follow a similar floor plan, each school features a distinct design approach.

Located in Edmonton's west end, Kim Hung (Granville) incorporates natural materials and earth tones, reflecting the surrounding environment. The interior mirrors these elements, with wood-grain wall tiles, rectilinear lighting, and large-scale artwork. The project faced a delay due to a fire in May 2017, just months before its scheduled completion. However, through effective collaboration, the school was able to open mid-year.
