Media summary

Brandon Park Primary School’s new Community Hub, designed by Architecture architecture, is a dynamic space that celebrates connection, learning, and community. This contemporary facility includes a gymnasium, music room, canteen, staff rooms, and a landscaped plaza, seamlessly blending functionality with the school’s culture and values. Positioned strategically to connect with the sports oval and existing buildings, the hub serves as a vital link between the campus and wider community.

The design draws inspiration from the natural surroundings, featuring a warm palette of ivory brick and timber, complemented by a distinctive green veranda supported by pink columns reminiscent of flowering gums. Inside, the gymnasium’s timber trusses and translucent cladding create a lofty, light-filled space that transitions into a softly glowing beacon at night. This versatile hub hosts sports and community events, emphasising accessibility and inclusivity. Its welcoming design creates an inviting space for students, staff, and visitors to connect and socialise.

The new Community Hub at Brandon Park Primary School has transformed the way we engage and educate, becoming a practical yet inviting centre for school and community activities. Architecture architecture’s responsive and collaborative approach ensured the needs and hopes of staff, students, and the wider community were deeply integrated into the design. Flexible spaces like the gymnasium, music room, canteen, and staff areas are in high demand, fostering creativity and connection. Their attention to detail and ability to meet challenges have delivered an exceptional space, now vital to our growing community engagement and educational initiatives.
