Smith & Tracey has extensive experience in the educational sector and providing future-proof design solutions adaptable to evolving trends in pedagogy in Australia. This particular building incorporates the recently completed existing labs to create twenty additional flexible classrooms, large breakout areas, a demonstration kitchen, offices and student facilities. These programs are designed in a horseshoe arrangement around a sun-filled, circular outdoor gathering space.
“The building underwent an evolutionary process, testing and discarding many form-making techniques”, the architect says. Each stage of the process was documented with 3D renderings to result in a determined and functional building. What also became clear from these discussions was the need to develop a dynamic architecture that would: “Engage the students with the built environment and challenge them that there might be more independent ways of learning.”
Concept System® 77 includes a high-quality flush door system, which meets the elevated requirements regarding security, thermal insulation and stability. Different door variants are specially designed and tested for burglar resistance, fire resistance, bullet proof and solutions for panic situations, meeting the most severe European standards.
