Bear Creek Secondary School (also known as BCSS) is a public secondary school (grades 9-12) located in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. It was founded in 2001, and currently has an enrollment of more than 1400 students.
Bear Creek was completed January 2001 by Bondfield Construction for Simcoe County District School Board, costing CAD$18,100,000. It was designed by Zawadzki Armin Stevens Architects. The two-storey school has an area of 167,570 sq. ft., and includes athletic facilities such as a gymnasium, exercise room, and a running track on the second floor. The school also features specialized classrooms, a round cafetorium, a food court area, and a large forum. Exterior features include a large parking area, an outdoor track and a large sports/football field.[4] Nine years later, in 2010, a one-storey, 25,327 sq. ft. area expansion added six new classrooms, including: two woodshops, a dance studio, and a hospitality suite, amongst other facilities. The $7.5 million expansion budget also covered renovations to the original part of the school.[5]
