INGLEWOOD PRIMARY SCHOOL
This compact and densely covered site called for a bespoke design to ensure the school’s play space was optimised while referencing the mix of both 1940’s and contemporary buildings at the school. Being restricted by a linear footprint, flexibility has been established through interconnected classrooms and the creation of an identity for senior students as preparation for transition to high school.MT LAWLEY PRIMARY SCHOOL
Devastated by fire in 2012 the rebuilding of Mount Lawley Primary School involved extensive stakeholder consultation. The resulting innovative design incorporates contemporary educational planning imperatives, universal access, sustainability and energy efficiency of the learning spaces while respecting the school’s 100-year-old identity.
