Halifax Academy building, or Alliance Atlantis Academy, is a Victorian era building located in downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia. It is a registered heritage property.[1]
Heritage value
It was built in 1877 for use as a high school, the Halifax Academy. In 1883 Dalhousie University rented two rooms in which to house the newly founded Dalhousie Law School.[1]
It is a three storey, red brick building built in the Second Empire style. [1] It was designed by Henry Busch, a proponent of the style, and prominent Halifax architect. Andrew Cobb designed an extension in 1917.[2]
Modern day
In 2003 Alliance Atlantis donated the building to NSCAD University[3] who have used it for their film program since 2004.[4]
