Project Overview
Commendation – Category 1B New Construction, Major Facility
“This project demonstrates that a compressed planning process can result in a clever and innovative school facility, when clarity of the school’s vision is apparent in the briefing process.
Chilwell Primary School, built in 1878 on a on a small 1. 07 hectare site, responded to the BER funding and time constraints with a plan to break away from the past traditional style classrooms through a contemporary building that would fit with the heritage face brick school building.
The final built design by Third Ecology demonstrates all aspects of good design including the use of outside space integrated into the learning environment. A delightful feature of the project is the use of material and colour while the structural bones of the building are on display, promoting legibility and honesty. The building includes good ESD elements including well lit and naturally ventilated spaces.
Congratulations to Third Ecology and Chilwell Primary School.”
