Joint Winner

Located in the heart of the operational school campus, the senior school hub features 2 levels of teaching spaces and staff accommodation above a podium of social areas, informal study opportunities and dining commons. Showcasing the college's commitment to sustainable design, the timber structure reduces the building carbon footprint with rainwater harvesting, abundant daylight, natural ventilation, passive heating and cooling strategies all employed to minimize the building impact on the environment. Many materials for the project were prefabricated off site including the CLT and glulam timbers, stairs, facade and structural steel. The project team planned the sequencing methodology to drive program efficiencies resulting in a facility that incorporates sustainable and environmentally friendly material choices and is a prime example of world class pedagogy that suits the needs of students today and generations to come.
