BEAUMARIS NORTH PRIMARY SCHOOL – ARKIT
Beaumaris North Primary School is a part of the Victorian State Government’s Permanent Modular School Buildings Program, which is focused on the removal of asbestos from Victorian schools. The brief for this project included the removal of existing buildings and the creation of a new, custom designed teaching and learning facility.
ARKIT was commissioned to design and construct two classrooms, a flexible multipurpose space, wellbeing room, and teachers’ workspace. In addition to the Victorian School Building Authority’s brief, the school commissioned ARKIT to design and deliver additional landscaping works, including a new playground fitted with integrated mounds, sand pits, and slides. The school’s vision for the project was to provide considered passive spaces, designed in a way that would engage and inspire young minds, while operating as state-of-the-art, flexible, modern learning facilities.
