Our Lady of Assumption Primary School
OUR LADY OF ASSUMPTION PRIMARY SCHOOL
New Catholic primary school designed for a total capacity of 450 students (K-6). A 1970s former Telstra Training Centre was repurposed into this new school to accommodate population growth in Western Sydney. Designed by BVN, some key design features that highlight the school’s emphasis on collaborative learning and high technology include; flexible joinery and screens, joinery with built-in seats and shelves, replacement of the existing ground floor brick facade with timber framed double glazing, and large bi-fold doors that connect the internal learning space to the outdoor area.
JHA provided full design for electrical, lighting, dry fire, security, comms, audio visual and mechanical systems for the school. The works required a high level of detail in terms of integrating the lighting design with the special timber ceilings installed.
