The so-called "Science floor" of Lisgar collegiate institute is located near the top of the "North Building" and is the highest floor in use besides the attic. This floor houses, in addition to all science classes (AP Chem excepted), various Tech (Computer courses) and Visual Arts classes.


The science floor, formerely reffered to as the third floor, has been, in the wisdom of the OCDSB, redubbed, the fourth floor. A name that as well as being counter-intuitive, grates upon those who used the superior (I mean: old) numbering system.


Historically, the OCESS has used the science floor as a meeting place, holding Wednesday meetings in one of its classrooms. Prior to the 1997 renovation, many of these classrooms were furnished with permanent double lab-desks. The much-needed remodeling removed these permanent installations and replaced them with more flexible open-centred rooms, having the lab areas around the outside.


The 1997 renovation also resulted in the creation of a room at the end of the hallway which became the office of the OCESS teacher-advisor. As the teacher-advisor at the time had little use for more office space, the room was occupied by the student membership and quickly became known as the SpaceSim Office.
