Is this an expansion to the existing building, or a new building entirely?

they are building around it.

'Major renovation' is the term they used, but it will result in an entirely new exterior for the (now larger) building.

Apparently there's a former house in a courtyard of the existing school building. Anyone know anything more about it?

good find! something like a former farm house? maybe historic?
RE: Conestoga College Waterloo Campus Expansion - panamaniac - 07-13-2017
That's a new one to me. Funny the reports about the project don't seem to have made any mention of such an unusual feature.
RE: Conestoga College Waterloo Campus Expansion - urbd - 07-13-2017
Inspecting it closer, it almost looks like a portable classroom and not a house.
RE: Conestoga College Waterloo Campus Expansion - UrbanCanoe - 07-13-2017
So looks like it's not a former house, rather a purpose-built teaching space to support their programs - perhaps the masonry centre. Not as exciting or unique as I first assumed...
RE: Conestoga College Waterloo Campus Expansion - gomesjustin - 07-14-2017
Confirmed. It is a purpose built house built by the students in Trades. It's been in there for a few years, at least since I visited a friend there back in 2014.

What an improvement... I appreciate that the expansion brings the campus much closer to the street.
