Swanbury Penglase wins Regional Award – Renovation/Modernisation Under $2M

The A4LE 2018 Conference was held this week in Sydney focussing on the 3R’s in the Exponential Age. a4le.org.au

The yearly regional conference covers Australia, New Zealand and Singapore and is always a lively and varied gathering of educators and those associated in the delivery of educational facilities.

A Regional Awards dinner and presentation is held on the evening before the final day and this year Swanbury Penglase was the winner of a Regional Award for the Yurrebilla Centre at Seymour College (check out the project here) in the Renovation/Modernisation under $2M category.

Warm congratulations to the College and to our project team. We are very appreciative for this opportunity and have enjoyed working with Seymour College on this transforming project.

Further, we acknowledge the effort of our contractor Partek, Project Manager ARK and the consultant team: BCA (Building Services), CPR (Structural), Rider Levett Bucknall (Quantity Surveyors) and Katnich Dodd (Building Certifiers). Special thanks also to Studio Piñata for their design of the integrated signage and a display which celebrates Seymour College’s history and the dreaming story of the great giant Yurrebilla, after which the centre is named.

Seymour College Yurrebilla Centre was chosen as the winning entry for Category 5: Renovation/Modernisation Under $2M due to its outstanding response to all criteria. The panel commends the extensive collaboration, in depth discussion and ongoing consultation that involved a wide range of stakeholders. This innovative design solution celebrates Yurrebilla’s cultural story in a highly successful manner. It also identifies some highly creative design elements that not only exceed the educational aspirations by providing a highly functional learning space that supports a variety of learning models whilst also creating a space which encourages people to ‘stay, learn and interact together’. - Jury Citation
