On Thursday, October 8, 2009 a number of members of the CSS building committee toured Sardis Secondary to see and discuss some of the things that worked in that building process. On the tour were Chris Reilly, Brent Moore, Curtis Tieu, Martha Wiens, Sylvia Dyck, Deryn Barnes and Bob Patterson. It was particularly useful to have Bob Patterson and Sylvia Dyck present as they were heavily involved in the planning of the school back in 1993/94.
Some of the things that were noted as being highlights of the facility were the use of skylights and windows to bring natural light into the building, large standard classroom spaces, and a well utilized centre court to the space.
Some aspects of the facility that did not seem to work as well were the acoustics to the performance area, a concern that high ceiling class space could be better utilized space, some small elective class rooms, and shared teaching spaces that were not used as shared teaching spaces. It was understood that many of the limitations to the space were as a result of the building requirements of the day.
