Carabiner was initially engaged to develop a masterplan for the new 565 place primary school, guiding the development of the campus across two key stages. The brief required the fast-tracked development of a temporary pre-primary and kindergarten ‘annexe’ on the campus in order to fulfil immediate need, then the delivery of the full primary school as a second stage in readiness for the commencement of the 2019 academic year.
Visually appealing design solution
We applied the strict parameters outlined in the Department’s design brief while developing a site-responsive masterplan and visually appealing design solution. Positioning the oval to the front of the school, we created a village green for this burgeoning greenfield suburb.
We retained a stand of mature trees that form a feature through the centre of the school and achieved the seamless integration of the pre-primary and kindergarten annexe and the education support building with the other permanent school buildings. As a result of our careful masterplanning, the ‘temporary’ annexe facility has been retained as a well utilised, permanent fixture.
