Project Challenges
Delivering this project required careful planning and coordination due to its live school environment:
-
Working in a Live Environment: Ensuring safety for students and staff while maintaining school operations, including pedestrian management, traffic exclusion zones, and emergency access plans.
-
Child Safety & Compliance: All personnel underwent Working With Children checks, and additional safety protocols were implemented, including site safety walks, egress point checks, and extended exclusion zones.
-
Restricted Access & Logistics: Located in a residential, high-traffic area, deliveries and construction schedules were coordinated to avoid school drop-off/pick-up times and minimize disruption to the community.
Despite these challenges, the project was delivered on time and provides a safe, functional, and visually striking facility for the school community.
