Plastic arts classroom modernization
Phil Bernard

PNDA Elementary School

The modernization of the visual arts classroom at Pensionnat Notre-Dame-des-Anges transforms a former home economics room into a bright, functional, and inspiring studio.

The layout is organized into two distinct zones: the teaching area and the storage spaces. A long, angular work surface creates a transition between the two, preserving visual continuity while allowing natural light to flow freely.

The simplicity of the design allows for great flexibility of use, accommodating a variety of student and school activities.

Integrated furniture and display areas place students’ work at the forefront. Natural wood acts as a unifying element, while yellow accents help identify service areas and structure the overall composition. The soft tone of the display surfaces highlights exhibited objects and contributes to a calming atmosphere.

New openings toward the corridor establish a visual connection with the common areas, revealing the creative activity within the room and affirming its place at the heart of school life.
