Walford Pavilion Parks Oval

Walford Anglican School for Girls identified that their current facilities on Parks Oval were dated and lacked amenity to deliver contemporary learning pedagogy.

The new pavilion provides a contemporary flexible learning environment and the opportunity for the school to hold school functions within the building.

The simple architectural form and use of materials has resulted in an elegant building being constructed within a tight budget. The raking high level ceiling and glazed façade maximises light into the multipurpose space and allows a high level of visibility and connection to the playing fields for year-round use. Large openable section of the façade further connects the pavilion to the playing fields and large outdoor covered view deck.

A large semi commercial kitchen is directly linked to the multipurpose space for flexibility during sports days, events, and functions. The pavilion also houses changeroom facilities, amenities and large stores for the sports and maintenance staff.

The pavilion has been positioned on the site to maximise the playing field extents. Raising the pavilion and viewing deck maintains line on site for spectators to the entire field.
