Vaughan Road Academy, Educational facility in York, Toronto
Vaughan Road Academy was a secondary school in York, Toronto, with three wings forming a triangular shape that housed classrooms, laboratories, a football field, and recreational areas across multiple levels. The building's layout was designed to accommodate different learning spaces and student activities.
The school opened in 1927 as Vaughan Road High School and served as the first secondary school in York Township until closing in 2017. It shaped the education of many generations in the area.
The school newspaper Vaughan Vox shared student life and achievements through regular publications that kept the educational community connected.
The location is accessible by transit: take the subway to St. Clair West station and then bus Vaughan Road 90+ heading to Winona Drive. The site sits in a residential area with street parking available.
The building earned the nickname 'The Triagon' for its near-right triangle layout, which set it apart from typical school designs. This unusual shape was a deliberate architectural choice that made the structure visually memorable.
