FORTITUDE VALLEY
STATE SECONDARY COLLEGE
Fortitude Valley State Secondary College is the first vertical school in Queensland.
This project involved creating a new state secondary college on the existing Fortitude Valley School site. The project consisted of three main buildings across two stages, with Building 1 (B1) and the Performing Arts Centre (PAC) being delivered under Stage 1, and the Sports Hall under Stage 2. Building 1 included 8 level of education facilities including innovation centre hub, canteen, lecture theatre, arts, science, multi-media learning, workshop, food studies, and general learning facilities.
The PAC is the performing arts hub of the precinct, consisting of 400 seat auditorium, back stage change facilities, green room, box office, music practice, drama, and other music and performance based learning facilities. Stage 2 consisted of a three storey sports hall which included a double court playing surface, food production GLAs, Industrial Technology GLAs, Art Classrooms, and multi-purpose rooms.
JHA undertook design completion and documentation for the mechanical, electrical (including dry fire, communications, security), hydraulics, and fire design, and participated in user consultation discussions regarding updating the teaching curriculums for manual art/trade skills.
