Classified of State Significance, the Scotch College campus in Hawthorn has undergone a physical and cultural renaissance over the past decade. As one of the College’s earliest traditions, boarding plays an important role in this revitalisation and an adaptive reuse opportunity was identified to reimagine the Glen House former scullery and only remnant of the original mansion demolished in the 1960s. Built in 1875, that remaining portion is one of the oldest heritage buildings on campus.
Located in the heart of the boarding precinct, the vision to repurpose the original obsolete building was to build on its rich heritage and deliver an outstanding experience for current and future generations.
Errington Retreat brings together old and new; a modernist single storey glazed pavilion integrated with and restoring Glen House’s original character to create a relaxed, welcoming setting for boarders and families to connect, supported by multi-purpose indoor and outdoor spaces.
