McClelland College

2018 | Frankston, Victoria | Education

McClelland College is a school with a strong emphasis on preparing its students for success in real life.

With an underlying goal to instil an eagerness to learn, our design grappled with the many unique interests and passions of the students. One classroom that champions this idea is dedicated for what the staff dub ‘STEAM’ (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics), and is fit out with state-of-the-art technology such as 3D printers.

Easily adaptable collaborative spaces gives students freedom in their learning, and accommodates for the flux of teaching styles over time. This communal identity and unification is brought to life by the building’s façade, coloured vertical blades spanning the length of both old and new stadium.

“The inclusive way in which K2LD ensure that all stakeholders staff, students and parents are consulted and brought along in the process, helped ensure that the designs and ultimate outcomes were shared and owned by all. Each staff member we dealt with were incredibly responsive and they build genuine relationships which are vital during often complex building projects. As a result, we now have engaged their services for a further four refurbishment projects with two already completed. I couldn’t fault K2LD and would highly recommend them.”

New art classrooms open to corridor gallery space and breakout art areas – creating a collaborative network of activity and learning. Notions of “community” and “relationship” were paramount in the design of a new sports stadium. By day, it would function as a gymnasium for students; by night, a public facility for the enjoyment and use of all locals.
