The two storey imposing Le Couteur Building was built in 1938 as the Newington College Junior School. It was vacant for some years and has now been refurbished to accommodate the visual arts, languages and learning enhancement. The contract required a full interior strip out and upgrade. The historic building had numerous latent and unknown conditions -  the roof had hazardous dust, structural changes required underpinning, and services were assessed and maintained where possible.
Eaves were asbestos, and removal was undertaken during school holidays. All lighting was replaced and was integrated with a new CBUS system, allowing mechanical services to be remotely controlled. This project required constant management to minimise delays to the program. 
This well finished building was constructed in just 20 weeks.
