Exhibition '1950s Classroom' in Archives and Museum
The 1950s classroom has changed little since McKay Avenue closed in 1983. The 1950s were a time of change for the classroom environment, physically and intellectually. Fluorescent lights, painted woodwork, linoleum flooring, and green chalkboard known as “hyloplate” are some of the most notable changes to the physical space. The curriculum moved towards an investigative type of science inquiry.
