TOUR 24 - REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS FOR ESTABLISHED SCHOOL

GOVERNOR STIRLING SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Governor Stirling SHS was the first full redevelopment of a high school constructed in a single stage in Western Australia. It involved demolition of the existing 50-year-old school and remediation of the site in preparation for the new school. Maximising the relationship between building, river & surrounding context creates a sense of place; a ‘Riverine’ experience capitalising on benefits of the natural setting. The design aims to engender a sense of school community pride and ownership, creating a distinctive presence and strong identity.

GUILDFORD GRAMMAR SCHOOL

With a long history in WA Guildford Grammar School has a proud tradition of forward-thinking educational provision. The new prep school is a collection of three new two-storey buildings for Years 1 – 6 designed to promote fun, play and exploration. Each building is structured around a visually transparent and physically permeable central street that provides vertical and horizontal connections between the interior learning spaces, as well as places for kinesthetic learning, movement and play.
