Acton Ostry Architects

Established in 1922, Vancouver College is the only all-boys independent Catholic school in British Columbia. Lannon Hall was the second phase of a master plan to strengthen the sense of place for the venerated faith and learning community. Retention of the original 1924 red-brick Collegiate Gothic facade pays tribute to the history of the college’s early days. The elementary school features a gymnasium and learning commons, with kindergartens and classrooms arranged in learning neighbourhoods. Lannon Hall also includes Blessed Edmund Rice Chapel and a residence for the Christian Brothers. A covered walkway links Lannon Hall and Blessed Edmund Rice Chapel with Manrell Hall to form a cloister courtyard for the entire College.
