Biscoe Wilson was commissioned to design and document a Multipurpose Hall as part of the Building the Education Revolution (BER) Program.
This large multi purpose hall can accommodate a range of sporting and general school assembly functions. The facility is also available for community use.
The sloping land enabled a lower level undercroft to be included. This space acts as a breezeway link from the main school entry down to the oval and includes offices, sport store, uniform shop and a music room, on either side of the breezeway.
The main steel framed hall is clad in a mix of tilt up concrete panels at lower levels and light weight fibrous cement and metal sheeting on upper walls. Extensive use of louvers, glass and translucent roof and wall sheeting have produced a natural lit hall that seldom required artificial lighting during daytime.
A fan shaped steel awning over the entry provides an entry signature to the school.
Total Floor Area: 1662sqm (including outdoor covered entry and breezeway)
