Brentwood College School Vision + Masterplan

McLennan Design led a master planning and visioning effort for Brentwood College School, an elite boarding school on the waterfront of Vancouver Island. The project centers around a revitalized, sustainable waterfront, featuring a dramatic boathouse suspended over the striking waters of Saanich Inlet. The masterplan also includes several academic and administrative buildings and a central water treatment plant that will facilitate the campus’ transition to a Living Community.

The vision is simple – to create the world’s first truly resilient, self-sustaining campus as a beacon of hope, leadership, and environmental stewardship. This lofty aspiration is grounded both in practical architectural solutions and an innovative educational curriculum. Inspired by the site’s unique position in a truly wild and biodynamic part of the world, the redesign of the campus is focused on bringing out potential opportunities for discovery, creativity, and education.
