Effects of the New building
As Staples has transformed from a series of one story buildings (and a single two story) to a sprawling three-floored super wing, students lives have changed in many different ways.
Advantages of the new school versus the old
- With the exception of the Fieldhouse and Gymnasium, air-conditioning is present campus-wide; most classrooms in the old building lacked this
- There are never any "gaps" in the heating system, which plagued the old building, usually when going through the connector hallways between buildings
- The new school has just been built, and is thus in top condition
- At least one computer are present in most classrooms
- Clean washrooms
- Better-lit hallways (rooms in the old building were well-illuminated, but not hallways)
- Better organized room numbers (room numbers in the old building were often disorganized, as they often went down one side of the hallway and then back the other; in the new building it is done back and forth, all odd numbers facing inwards, even numbers facing outwards)
Disadvantages of the new school versus the old
- Classes can be quite distant from the office of the teacher teaching it; in the old building almost all teachers had offices right outside their teaching rooms; the new building contains centralized suites for all departments except Science, which had its offices built directly outside of classrooms.
- The new building lacks the "culture" the old building boasted; these include wall-paintings.
- If a student was to come from the Athletic Locker rooms and go to a 3rd floor class, they would have to walk up an unprecedented three flights of stairs.
