The public face of Havergal College, one of Toronto's oldest girls' schools, is a well-known Avenue Road icon. The facade of the Great Hall, the entrance tower, and ivy-covered Credit Valley limestone walls are symbols of tradition and excellence, qualities which continue to be instilled in the students.

The expansion of Havergal's Senior School, for grades 7 to 13, included both new construction and renovation. The new construction was designed to respect and enhance the original building - the wide sunlit corridors that invite social interaction, landscaped quads around which classrooms and offices are organized, and neo-Gothic Collegiate details, forms and materials.

Program elements in the addition include:
+ 225-seat theatre/multi-purpose hall with telescopic seating
+ Separate band room, strings room, and drama studio
+ Additional classrooms including chemistry classroom
+ 300-seat dining hall which can be sub-divided into two smaller halls
+ Full kitchen and servery for hot meals for day students and boarders
+ Commons which functions as the heart of the school, for informal gatherings and study, with an adjacent courtyard that can be used for quiet study or outdoor classes.
+ Alterations were made to expand the resource centre, administrative offices, and teacher prep areas. The school chapel was relocated to allow for a new Book/Equipment Store.
