The Site
The Griffiths Street site will be developed as the ‘Academic Precinct’ within a contemporary four-storey building, comprising primarily classrooms and administration areas, along with outdoor learning and recreation areas.
The nearby Gleadell Street campus opened for Term 1 in 2018 and comprises general purpose teaching spaces, four competition-grade netball courts and community facilities.
An Accessible Location
Located within the heart of Richmond, the school provides excellent access to a wide range of transport options and is positioned close to existing community infrastructure and services.
The school will encourage the use of sustainable transport modes. We worked closely with the VSBA, Council and Hayball to ensure that the surrounding precinct has appropriate facilities for safe and convenient pedestrian and bicycle access.
A Team-Driven Outcome
We worked in association with the VSBA, the City of Yarra, Lynall Hall Community School, Richmond Multicultural Children’s Centre, Leo Berry’s Boxing Gym, Gleadell Street Market Traders and the Richmond Union Bowls Club to ensure that their needs were considered throughout the planning phase.
The academic precinct is proposed to open in Term 1 of 2019 for the second stream of year 7 students as well as students moving into year 8.
