Belleville Christian School

The Belleville Christian School project, completed in 2023, is a significant achievement in modern educational architecture. Situated at 138 Wallbridge Loyalist Rd in Belleville, Ontario, the school spans a massive 30,000 square feet in total building footprint, designed to cater to both the functional needs of a school and the comfort of its occupants. Hawkey Church Management Inc. executed the project as the general contractor, with the acclaimed Reinders + Law providing the architectural design.

This modern facility incorporates both insulated and non-insulated panels to ensure optimal energy efficiency and durability. The total panel area used in the construction amounts to 36,900 square feet, with 20,900 square feet dedicated to insulated panels and 16,000 square feet of non-insulated panels.  Selected for their ability to improve thermal insulation and structural stability, contributing to long-term sustainability and reduced energy costs.

One of the standout features of Belleville Christian School is its custom brick formliner. Which was used to enhance the visual appeal of the building’s exterior. This not only adds a distinctive aesthetic to the school. But also reflects the careful thought put into blending architectural beauty with practical design. The custom brickwork stands as a testament to the craftsmanship involved in the project.

Structurally, the project is impressive, with several notable features. The largest panel used in the construction measures 670 square feet. The widest panel spans 44 feet 7 inches across. The tallest panel, a striking 30 feet 1 inch, adds a sense of vertical grandeur to the building. The panels were engineered to be highly robust. The heaviest one, weighing an impressive 83,970 pounds, showcases the scale and strength of the materials used.
