Project St Patrick’s CollegeThe project involved the construction of a new two storey teaching centre. The upper level comprises six individual class teaching spaces linked
by glazed acoustic operable walls specifically designed to open into a single space. A key challenge involved working within the confines of a fully
operational school campus. Site security and safety including traffic management were a priority particularly around school start and finish times.
A high level of skill was required to frame the architecturally designed raking and angled external walls.
