Prime Build

The project introduces an innovative, single-story building equipped with state-of-the-art classrooms, vibrant arts space, and modern kitchen, all meticulously designed to foster an engaging and dynamic learning environment.

Key to this transformation is the installation of an acoustic operable wall. A feature that redefines the use of space by offering the versatility of either two distinct learning areas, or one expansive collaborative space, perfectly suited for a variety of teaching and learning styles. The enhancement of superior acoustic wall and ceiling insulation, guarantees an environment where every lesson is clear, and every student’s participation is valued.

The thoughtful integration of the main building and external areas through extensive glazing on the North façade, creates a harmonious blend of indoor comfort and outdoor beauty.

An external pavilion encourages outdoor learning and relaxation surrounded by durable exposed aggregate paths and soft landscaping, inviting the school community to connect with nature.

This modernisation project is more than just a renovation, it’s a leap towards education environments that inspire and adapt to future learning needs. Prime Build and the VSBA are proud to contribute to a project that not only meets today’s educational standards but also ignites the imagination and potential of tomorrow’s leaders.

A complex project respectfully transforming the 100-year-old building into a state-of-the-art Learning Centre with a totally redeveloped administration area and creating more space for play within the school’s beautiful grounds.

Works required extensive structural alterations with 20 tonnes of structural steel installed inside the existing building. New amenities block, teaching spaces, services and external façade upgrades, lift installation and landscaping works has called for careful integration with the school timetable to ensure the learning experience is not impacted, safety is not compromised and ensuring the project is completed within the tight timeframes.

The collaborative nature of the Prime Build Project Team and Site Manager, the Superintendent, the VSBA Project Officer and the School Principal sees the group work tirelessly together to achieve a great outcome for the Students, Teachers and Staff.

Whilst this project has thrown many challenges to the Project Team, financially due to the post COVID inflationary conditions and operationally due to the demands of the busy Live Environment, it is shaping up to be an amazing success.

The building was made available by the Armidale Regional Council and provides a local, easily accessible base for the University of New England’s Smart Region Incubator from which it can run programs and opportunities that support resilient regional communities.

The renovation of this facility was to create a dynamic, open, innovative environment. This was created by delivering an open conference centre featuring all the latest interactive technology, a dedicated pod cast room, open area offices, a series of enclosed meeting rooms and the addition of numerous amenities to cater for the space.
