The Trade Training Centre provides the opportunity to provide large flexible working spaces for the school.
The existing school is characterised by clusters of buildings placed on
a complex series of terraces cascading from the schools main entry.
The Trade Training Centre offered the opportunity to provide large
scale flexible workshop spaces whilst at the same time resolving the
complex level changes and linkages across the site. Two main axes
established "pedestrian streets" intersecting at the Trade Training Centre making easy passage across the site and linking the numerous school
buildings.
As the school campus has limited area, the Trade Training Centre could
not be accommodated on one level, thus a 2 story solution cleared
the ground plane for a variety of school activities and made way for
convenient vehicular access, servicing all workshops. A roof terrace
with views to the eastern playing fields was also created, providing
additional terraced spaces.
