The Penticton Centre for Exceptional Learning (Penticton EXCEL) is located on the main floor of  a quiet office building directly across from a 21-acre lakefront park.  Calming blue hues, artwork sourced from artists with autism, live plants, fluorescent light covers and sound-absorbing materials help to ensure our centre is sensory-sensitive.
 
Each cohort of 2-5 students is instructed in one of seven private learning spaces with multiple seating and workspace options (height-adjustable desks, wiggle seats, ball chairs, fidgets, exercise bands, etc.).  Supported group work and social-skill building takes place in our open learning areas.  Two "Sensory" rooms, a gym with a lateral climbing wall, a small gym with a climbing dome, excercise equipment, a "Bubble Bath" room (a small ball pit with clear balls), and quiet spaces are available to help students self-regulate.
