Scope
The scope involved the engineering, procurement and construction of the structural steel elements finished to an architectural standard including roof support steel, awnings and pergolas.

The main structural features are the curved custom fabricated plate girders supporting the roof structure directly on bored piles.

More Info
The project was the construction of an underground assembly hall, with a seating capacity of 1500. The seat hall lies at the heart of the school providing external, landscaped, shaded and covered circulation and playground spaces.

Seating 1500 people for concerts and assemblies, the venue provides a flat floored area for examinations and a regulation sized basketball court with substantial landscaping on the roof.

The facility was built from the top down to allow students’ use of their playground whilst construction activities continued underneath, an innovative approach to building on a highly sensitive and constrained site.
