South Oakleigh College

Architecture architecture are the principal design consultant working with the VSBA on a new masterplan for South Oakleigh College, as well as delivering the first stage of that masterplan to include a new gymnasium and science building.

The science building will be the first of three buildings in the school’s masterplan that will form the new STEAM precinct, while the expansion of the school’s gymnasium into a contemporary competition-grade facility allows for greater use by the school and broader local community.

The proposed works redefine the open space between campus buildings, resulting in the creation of a strong campus heart – the ‘agora’ – containing a variety of outdoor learning environments, seating and gathering spaces. The new building works and agora address the street frontage, signalling community presence and establishing a contemporary identity for the school.
