L'Amoreaux Collegiate Institute

L'Amoreaux Collegiate Institute is a public highschool in Toronto, located in north-west Scarborough. The motto of the school is "Freedom with Responsibility". L'Amoreaux has an extended French program, and over three quarters of the students do not use English as their primary language [http://www.tdsb.on.ca/profiles/4226.pdf] . L'Amoreaux is attended by about 900 students.

The school, designed by noted Canadian architect Raymond Moriyama, opened in the fall of 1973. Distinctive in interior design, it featured a large tiered Central Market Square in lieu of the standard auditoriums of similar sized facilities that had tended to be largely unused. In addition to this red coloured/carpeted area, the classroom areas also featured carpeted blue, green and yellow "Neighbourhoods" where students were also free to meet, study and socialise.

The school hall featured in rock band Rush's 1982 video for the single Subdivisions.
