TRCB was commissioned to design and deliver a new Sports Centre for Our Lady of Mercy College (Australind), a Catholic co-educational secondary school, for use by the College and the broader community.
The Sports Centre features a multi-use sports hall, also designed to support school gatherings, with first-floor classrooms and facilities for the Year 9 cohort.
The building is a hybrid of large-scale elements that respond to the sports hall, and finer, more intimate construction that is appropriate for learning areas and social spaces.
TRCB is honoured to have been involved with the design of the College campus since its foundation, and to deliver this next stage in its evolution: a truly multi-use Sports Centre that contributes to the civic and social life of the College and the community.
Staff and students at OLMC congratulate TRCB on the successful completion of the concept and design masterplan of the new Gymnasium building. The architecture style of the building succeeds in establishing a new focal point for the College. The design is bold, yet it engages and connects to existing buildings and landscape in an inventive and harmonious way. The College is particularly pleased with the inviting and open learning spaces, which have already proven to inspire our students within their learning journey. The beautiful breakout spaces, external verandas and connection to playing fields embody the College Pillar of Embracing Life.
