A daycare with a separate entrance has room for up to 30 children. The facility is also used by the French community of Yellowknife as a cultural centre. | ||
| The rotunda is the multi-purpose focal point of the building. It can serve as a community hall or as a theatre with seating for 250. During school hours, it can be configured to serve as 2 classrooms. | ||
