Glenside Campus: Shared Activities Building

Designed as a garden pavilion, the building is located directly in front of the Specialist Rehabilitation Services Inpatient Unit.  This creates a buffer to the more public shared garden but allows secure client access.

For larger gatherings, the main performance space and gym suite are designed to be opened up to each other and also to the outdoors, where the spaces can spill out under the large covered terrace overlooking the shared garden. Multiple entrances allow flexible use by different consumer groups and clients. The foyer spaces provide opportunities for display in the form of a gallery for consumer and client artwork.

In contrast to the surrounding inpatient buildings on the site, the building façade boasts a more commercial and public presence and internally, a bold urban colour and material palette has been used to reflect this.
