A “learning village environment” for the Goolwa community
Construction and refurbishment works have begun at the site of the new Greenway Architects designed Goolwa High School, set to open to students in 2022. The high school will initially accommodate 400 students, with the capability to expand in line with anticipated growth in the region.
Our construction team in Adelaide is responsible for works. Project Manager Benjamin Tonkin said it will be completed by October 2021.
"It's really exciting for us to have a regional project and given what this is going to do for the community, it's also good for us to invest back into the community by getting trade contractors on board and including them in the project," Benjamin Tonkin says, "We reached with expressions of interest and it's important we get local contractors actively involved and excited about this project."
The project is fundamentally a refurbishment, but includes the construction of a number of new structures with a brand new entry into the school.
"Decisions have been made to provide open collaboration learning, so a lot of the work is about really opening up spaces and providing room for the kids to learn in," he said.
