The Research, Performing Arts and Aquatic Centre at St Catherine’s School is testament to the power of developing sustainable solutions that create the best educational experience for end-users. 
Works included a Basement Carpark, Aquatic Centre, Performing Arts Centre, Multi-purpose Hall and associated spaces. 
Major excavation in sandstone and relocation of services was required after the demolition of the existing outside pool. The pool is built to FINA Water Polo specifications. There is a pool and a learner’s pool. 
Richard Crookes Constructions delivered a bespoke, future focused facility for St Catherine’s in a complex, high traffic live environment. They were able to do so while creating positive relationships with the School, students, and surrounding community.
On a tight site, Richard Crookes Constructions were able to manage key design and construction challenges, ensuring the project was fit for purpose with reduced ongoing maintenance costs. This project provides St Catherine’s with a building that will promote their diverse academic and social responsibilities.
