Camperdown College (DEECD)
Wilson Street, Camperdown
area 250sqm (220sqm new)
cost $497,000
completed 2008

This project is located in Camperdown, regional Western Victoria.

A ‘Leading Schools Facility’, this new building is designed to accommodate a range of modern teaching methods lacking in the existing facilities.

We were commissioned to generate a master plan for the site. In the masterplan we connected the existing two storey brick Public Works building with this new facility, occupying an underutilized space.

The new building location integrated years 5-6 students, who had been relocated from the Primary Campus with the completion of this facility.
