Exhibition '1950s Classroom' in Archives and Museum
This room has changed little since McKay Avenue School closed as an operational school in 1983. During the 1950s, the classroom environment experienced major physical and intellectual shifts. Physical upgrades included fluorescent lights, hyloplate chalkboards and linoleum flooring. Intellectually, the curriculum shifted to emphasize a hands-on investigative approach to scientific inquiry.
