Built Environs delivered new and expanded learning and activity spaces at Beaumaris Secondary College, completing the project six weeks ahead of schedule within a fully operational campus.
More space for a growing school
The Learning Hub was extended to three levels, creating new spaces for art, technology, design and learning communities. Existing areas were also transformed into new science spaces, supported by landscaping, a sensory garden, art deck and upgraded site infrastructure.
The Activities Centre was expanded to provide additional learning facilities, including covered outdoor learning space and an external amphitheatre.
A smarter way to lift
When three 350kg condenser units needed to be installed, the conventional approach would have required a 250-tonne mobile crane and a full-day local road closure.
Instead, our team used a helicopter to lift the units into position. Following two weeks of detailed planning, all three were installed safely in just 60 minutes, reducing disruption to students, staff and neighbouring residents.
Strong programming and design coordination helped us complete the overall project six weeks ahead of schedule while maintaining safe movement around the live school campus.
“Completed six weeks ahead of schedule within a fully operational school.”
