Among the facilities on campus are a Performing Arts Centre with a 750-seat theatre and a second smaller 200-seat theatre; 4 x full-sized sports fields with a 400-metre running track; 3 x full-sized indoor gymnasiums, a cultural space, and a café and fully-equipped commercial teaching kitchen.

Some of the other impressive features that make up this build include 1.5km of facade and 8,200m3 of concrete with around 2000 ground improvement stone columns used.

The construction of the school buildings involved all design disciplines. This provided an IL3 building structure with full mechanical ventilation systems (consisting of both passive and mechanically ducted), and stringent acoustic requirements ranging up to 60dba between teaching spaces. Also, due to the schools’ location, a number of up-grades were required to the existing inground infrastructure including major civil and stormwater management systems.

From design to construction end-to-end the school took 20 months to complete; including 3 months of intensive commissioning and completion under the observation of the ICO. And we worked in close collaboration with the schools to deliver a final build that was defect free at practical completion.
