About

The comprehensive reimagining of an established school campus in its entirety is a rare opportunity. The Lavalla Junior School at Newman College, originally constructed in the 1970s, has been refurbished and expanded to consolidate the Junior School previously dispersed across multiple campuses. The project included the undergrounding of a natural watercourse which historically separated the Churchland site both visually and physically. The project incorporates three retained buildings alongside three new structures, delivering contemporary learning and play environments while strengthening physical and pedagogical connections with the Senior School in realising the vision for a unified PK–12 campus.

About

To facilitate Guildford Grammar School’s decision to become a co-ed school, the new Boarding House provides 202 beds in a variety of configurations, for junior and senior students. As learning is increasingly socialised, a safe, comfortable and engaging Boarding House, with a domestic familiarity and a variety of places for students to play and learn in a relaxed and collaborative manner, will be a distinguishing and valued asset for the School. Our design also respects the ecological attributes of the stunning site and the heritage values of the campus.

The Senior Administration Building at Guildford Grammar School stands proudly beside the Federation Gothic Chapel, forming part of the school’s cherished “village green” heart. Its restoration honours the site’s historic fabric while introducing refined, modern amenities — professional offices, meeting spaces, staff lounge, kitchen, and end-of-trip facilities. A new internal stair connects seamlessly to the Commons Lounge, framed by displays of the school’s rich heritage. The design celebrates the building’s original timber trusses, cornices, and windows, integrating new technologies discreetly to preserve its character. This thoughtful renewal embodies tradition and progress, offering visitors a glimpse into the enduring spirit of GGS.

About

This new addition to the senior school campus accommodates learning areas for 500 students, including GLAs, a lecture space, and flexible meeting rooms. Although capable of teaching, the building is also the centre of learning and has been designed to offer a wide range of flexibility.

The Maths and Commerce building is designed as a flexible, student-centred learning hub that supports a variety of teaching styles. Featuring moveable furniture, breakout spaces, lecture areas, quiet rooms, and recording studios, it enables both collaborative and independent learning while promoting student agency and a calm environment. Accommodating up to 500 senior students, the building includes General Learning Areas, a lecture space, and flexible meeting rooms. Its design emphasises connection, flexibility, and structured learning, with indoor and outdoor spaces linked through large glazed doors to enhance natural light and flow.

Maths-inspired design elements and references to notable mathematicians are integrated throughout, while materials reflect the local context. The southern façade, facing the heart of the Senior School, showcases the College house tartans, connecting the building to its history.

About

The University of Notre Dame Australia began establishing its Fremantle Campus in 1989, repurposing the port city’s increasingly vacated commercial warehouses into a thriving educational environment.

The project focused on a series of heritage buildings which were originally warehouses supporting the activities of the port but had become library, study, teaching and staff offices. These buildings were completely refurbished into contemporary spaces while respecting their history. The largest element of the project was the consolidation of three distinct libraries into a single student hub. This required a large quantum of the books previously set out in a traditional book shelving storage arrangement to be relocated into a glass fronted storeroom. This allowed the space previously occupied by bookshelves to be re-purposed for a range of learning, teaching and student collaborative uses while retaining a connection with the traditional cornerstone of a library – the print collection.

About

A 2021 LEAD Award winner, the Albeus Fahey Building combines a bright contemporary interior cloaked by an exterior that perfectly complements the surrounding buildings – harking back to the early days of education in Western Australia.

The interior is visually stunning with extensive use of glazing and tall voids creating a feeling of light and space that inspires contemplation. Irregular shaped rooms provide visual interest and the challenge of furnishing these spaces has been met well. Traditional learning spaces make way for less rigid and formal spaces that spill out seamlessly into common areas. There are subtle differences between spaces that define their purpose without losing the overall continuity.

Excellent connectivity between spaces (both vertically and horizontally) contribute to a sense of cross curricular collaboration and cooperation – creating a multi-disciplinary “real world” environment.

About

Bilya Marlee at The University of Western Australia, designed by Kerry Hill Architects, is a purpose-built home for the School of Indigenous Studies, alongside key Indigenous health centres. Positioned near the Derbarl Yerrigan (Swan River), the building reflects its deep cultural significance to Whadjuk Noongar people and anchors the university’s southern precinct.

The design creates a strong visual and symbolic connection to the river through its orientation and integration with the landscape, despite the nearby road. Equally important is the preservation of a family of marri trees, which became a central design feature, with the building carefully arranged to protect and celebrate their cultural importance.

The architecture responds through a dynamic reimagining of the existing architectural character of the school, establishing a new two-storey building decidedly appropriate in context, scale and language, that provides a safe and secure learning environment for the early years students to commence their educational journey.

The building literally and figuratively sits securely amongst the trees, opening outwards to the school and oval to the north, and flooding the learning areas with natural light, opening to breezeways, visually and physically connecting back into the campus, oval and landscape, ensuring the teaching-block feels part of ‘place’ for the whole school community.
