Iroquois Ridge High School - Layout

Layout

Iroquois Ridge High School (IRHS) has three stories, each of which is dedicated to particular academic fields. The first floor is dedicated to courses that have to do mainly with business, the arts, technologies, and physical education. The second floor is devoted almost entirely to language arts and social studies, as well as being home to the library and three computer labs. The third floor holds math classrooms and science labs.

The school's main hallway is a large atrium which extends up all three storeys, and has a large skylight which covers the entire ceiling. It is nicknamed "The Street" because of its planted trees, old-fashioned street lights, and the fact that the classroom windows on either side make it seem as though one is walking between two buildings.

The school has three primary staircases that go from the first floor up to the third, which are located in the center of the street and at the front and back doors. There is also a staircase in the street going directly to the second floor, and one in the back going from the second floor down to the field.

The school has eleven exits, which are located in the front and back entranceways, the Personal and Career Counselling (PCC) office, the daycare, the Communications Technology (ComTec) lab, each of the two art rooms, the art hallway entrance, the cafeteria, and two exits to the field.

The school also has various concealed exits used in emergencies.
