Mother Teresa Catholic Secondary School in London, Ontario, is a striking two-storey educational landmark blending modern form with functional design. Completed in 2002 and spanning approximately 170,000 ft², the brick-and glass structure is arranged around a formal entry courtyard that welcomes students and frames the building’s civic presence.

The building’s spatial heart features a flexible, multi purpose “cafetorium” — a hybrid cafeteria, theatre, and assembly area equipped with a built in stage, catwalk, and advanced lighting and sound infrastructure. A prominent circular second-floor chapel, with seating for around 150, serves as both a spiritual focal point and architectural statement.

Athletic wings include a double gym and single gym—each with mezzanine viewing areas—as well as direct external access for community use. Additionally, the exterior reveals a campus-like layout, featuring large windows, a dramatic foyer, and clear massing over expansive grounds that host a track, football and soccer fields, and bus courtyard.

In all, its thoughtful plan, multipurpose interiors, and expressive architectural forms create a dynamic and inviting environment that supports both communal gathering and diverse educational activities.
