ST PATRICK'S COLLEGE STUDENT OFFICE

Stage 4 of Elevation’s masterplan for St Patrick’s College included a new Student Services Office and Wellness Centre. We located the new centre at the Pier Avenue entry, allowing visitors to go to reception before entering the college campus. The modern building improves the look and feel of the school entry and makes use of what was an underutilised space abutting the site boundary. The hit-and-miss brickwork is a nod to the traditional red brick of the existing school buildings and provides screening to the new first-level break-out deck. The spatial planning, particularly of the Wellness Centre, was carried out in close collaboration with the school and individual staff members due to the specific and sensitive nature of the services.
