Education - New Build

Bryant Alsop have been appointed as PDC for the largest redevelopment of learning spaces at JFSC in decades. We have had the pleasure of working with the College for 6 years and we are thrilled to see this project come to fruition.

The centre of the school is to be demolished to allow the construction of a new Science and Media building at the east end, and a VET Food Technology centre & canteen at the west. Significant landscaping will develop a mature, contemporary campus for current and future students.

Working closely with the school, we developed an extensive understanding of the existing conditions, needs, and aspirations of the school community to develop a proactive masterplan which was endorsed and progressed to further stages (SD, DD,TD) to develop the priority projects: new art, science, and food technology spaces in two separate buildings, as well as a large landscaping scope and services upgrades. Consideration was also given to the siting and staging of a future Sport & Performing Arts hub. Community use of facilities and the exploration of strengthening of existing partnerships within the City of Merri-bek were investigated. ESD initiatives and indigenous consultation were also critical components.
