The Glendalough project consists of three main components: the Carpark, the Playground, and the Multi-Purpose Learning Building.
The car park is a covered deck with 137 car spaces and 16 bike racks, accessed by a secure two-way ramp. Above, a multi-purpose junior playing field with a running track includes sleeves for goalposts and is surrounded by a 2-meter-high fence and 4-meter-high retractable netting to contain balls.
The playground connects the car park, oval, and new building, with an informal amphitheater and playground zone to encourage active play. Seating areas offer views of the playground.
The new learning building engages the street with upper-level windows providing views into the treetops and natural light for teaching spaces. A wide pathway guides visitors to the entrance, with sheltered access to reception and gates. The office is centrally located for easy access to leadership, teaching spaces, lifts, and the playground.
