The Marist Primary project is the construction of a new two storey classroom block comprising of 12 classrooms and a separate new library building. To allow construction to commence an existing classroom block had to be demolished, which required three relocated classrooms to be established on site to accommodate the students for 2019.
The relocatable classrooms were successfully landed and ready for students at the start of the 2019 school year. From here an area of the school was closed off and construction began on the main classroom block and library. The foundations of the new structures took 4 months to complete as shallow layers of hard, basalt rock were regularly encountered.
The classroom block comprises of heavy concrete foundations anchored into the basalt. The two storey structure is steel framed with the first floor being concrete and a large portion of the cladding being architectural precast panels clipped to the steel structure.
The project was completed in time for students and teachers to use in Term 1 of 2020.
