Prepared coordinated tender documentation for a complex multi-level education and arts facility, ensuring clarity across architectural, structural, and services packages to support accurate contractor pricing and reduce tender risk.

Coordinated spatial layouts for specialist teaching areas, such as art studios, black-box theatre, and early learning classrooms, ensuring tender documents addressed acoustic, lighting, and FF&E provisions clearly.

This multiuse educational facility integrates diverse programmatic functions, including general teaching spaces, art studios, a library, a gymnasium, and a 211-seat performance theatre.
The project is situated within an established school campus, bordered on three sides by existing buildings, necessitating significant excavation in sandy soil conditions to accommodate the double-height theatre space.
The upper levels, constructed primarily in concrete, house four general learning classrooms, art studios, the library, and the gymnasium. Spatial organization prioritizes functional efficiency while fostering interdisciplinary engagement.
The facility establishes a cohesive relationship with the broader campus by connecting to the adjacent arts center, library, and science buildings through a shared courtyard and designated outdoor learning spaces.
These interventions enhance circulation and promote interaction among students and faculty, reinforcing the integration of academic, artistic, and physical education programs.
