PROJECT THROWBACK

Unley High School
Completed in 2021, this redevelopment fundamentally transformed Unley High School through a coordinated program of new construction and refurbishment. The project supports the transition of Year 7 students and introduces a diverse suite of contemporary learning environments.

A new three-level Learning Centre forms the heart of the campus, delivering 3,850 sqm of flexible learning spaces, including specialist disciplinary areas that support hands-on project work and STEM-focused activities. Strong connections to outdoor learning are reinforced through a new 500 sqm covered canopy, establishing a clear identity and fostering social cohesion around the new Unley Square.

Together, these interventions create dynamic, engaging and adaptable environments, offering a variety of gathering spaces that encourage exploration, student agency, and multiple pathways to learning. We look forward to our ongoing collaboration in 2026 with Unley High School!

Big progress on site at Virginia Primary School!

The mobile milling machine has arrived on site and is now forming the ARAMAX roof sheeting in real time. Roll-forming on site means long, continuous sheets with a precision profile - perfectly suited to the dramatic spans and cantilevered edges of this roof. Watching the roof line emerge really brings the scale of the structure to life.

Always an exciting milestone when the steelwork is up on a new project. This one at Virginia Primary School is particularly dramatic, as you can see the huge distances that the ARAMAX roofing profile will span and then cantilever even further on its end spans. Looking forward to seeing the roof sheeting going on in early January when we get back!

PROJECT THROWBACK

Brighton Secondary School: Completed in 2021, Tarni Warra is a dedicated Middle School building supporting the school’s vision for 21st century learning environments tailored to Year 7 and 8 students. The design delivers flexible and dynamic spaces aligned with the school’s values of curiosity, courage, and citizenship.

Opportunities for paired classes and team-teaching flow seamlessly between classrooms and into the shared learning commons. Contemporary pedagogical spaces such as ‘think tanks’, ‘gallery’, and ‘forum’ areas provide alternative learning settings, expanding the possibilities beyond the traditional classroom and creating a campus that inspires exploration and collaboration.

PROJECT THROWBACK

Springbank Secondary College: Completed in 2024, this project reflects the school’s role as a unique provider of alternative learning pathways. Recognised with a Commendation in Educational Architecture at the 2024 AIA SA Chapter Awards, the design was shaped by the school’s aspirations, its diverse student cohort, and the importance of community in future learning environments.

In collaboration with the school, the Department for Education, and key stakeholders, we reimagined the existing campus; transforming the footprint to deliver large, flexible spaces tailored to the STEAM educational philosophy. Both internal refurbishments and external undercover learning environments now provide Springbank students with purpose-built spaces that support innovation, creativity, and connection.
