This new six storey school was designed for Santa Sophia Catholic College’s 1920 students and 130 full time teachers, consisting of early learning up to year 12.
The build included classrooms, a community hub, art, science, and a creative design hub
As well as a multi- purpose Hall for music, drama and dance and administration and research spaces.
The project was divided into five buildings to facilitate time and site management. To further ensure the project was delivered in shortest time Buildcorp focused on the construction methodology and off-site fabrication.
The facade was a composition of curtain wall, window wall and shopfronts. These and the extensive steel balustrades were all fabricated off site, and prototypes were built off site and used to minimise fitout issues.
Throughout the process Buildcorp Group offered students work experience and apprenticeship opportunities, and a construction progress video was presented to the school as a teaching tool.
Santa Sophia School is an excellent example of collaboration between the client, design team, the builder, and his sub-contractors.
