Overview

Project Overview

The AngliSchools administration block and classroom expansion is a standout example of education projects in Perth, designed to provide modern, functional learning spaces while enhancing staff and student facilities. The project delivered a contemporary administration block and four new classrooms, supporting the school’s growing needs.

This expansion project was developed to enhance the learning environment and administrative operations at AngliSchools. Key aspects include:

  • A new single-storey administration block with reception, offices, and staff facilities

  • Four modern classrooms designed for flexible learning

  • Contemporary architectural design using steel finishes, timber cladding, and red face brick to complement existing buildings and the natural environment

  • Strategic window placement and glazed internal partitions to maximize natural light and create open, welcoming spaces

The facility integrates modern design, sustainability, and practicality to create a safe, functional, and inspiring environment for students, staff, and visitors.

  • Interior Finishes: Acoustic-rated metal strip ceilings, linear HVAC diffusers, timber-look flooring, custom joinery, feature track lighting, and breakout spaces

Construction Challenges

Delivering this project required careful planning and coordination due to its live school environment:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
