The building has sixty-four classrooms, a double gym, seven computer labs, a physics lab, a chemistry lab, a greenhouse with flowers on the roof, and a 350-seat "Teaching Theatre" that was newly remodelled used for plays, lectures by guest speakers, and district drama festivals. There are also three biology labs, a media resource centre, an automotive technology laboratory, and a welding room. There are also three courtyards that are used for outdoor classes, BBQ's, or as a sitting area during lunch hour in the warmer months.
