Jells Park Primary School

Architecture architecture was engaged by Jells Park Primary School to lend a little love to a pair of worn-out portables, making them feel as special and welcoming as any other building in the school.

When the semi-temporary becomes semi-permanent, it’s time for a spruce. Keeping within the footprint of the existing structure, internal walls have been rearranged to accommodate new breakout spaces and teacher resource spaces, to be shared between three classrooms.

The new amenities include staff collaboration spaces, a mini-amphitheatre for class presentations, reading nooks for quiet retreat, wet areas for making a mess, and lounges for group projects and games. When required, these new shared spaces can be closed-down with large sliding doors, while glass portholes maintain lines-of-sight for ease of supervision.
