In architecture The Pavilion is seen as progressive, democratic and a canvas for creativity. Gray Puksand have drawn on this symbolism to create a culture of dynamic learning in the heart of Sydney suburbia.
Nestled in the landscape, The Institute of Applied Technology Construction (IATC) at Kingswood, is surrounded by parkland and can be entirely circumnavigated, permitting views into and out of the spaces within.
The expressed architectural structure emerges from an environmental response to the climatic extremes of the locale, embracing the site topography, boasting both lower and upper ground floor levels, accessible from the primary east and west entrances, linked via the activated central atrium.
This new Pavilion of Learning at the Kingswood campus stands aside the main campus and, while singular in its location, it also becomes an extension of the terrain, representing a powerful vision for education.
TAFE NSW has designed and delivered a new State of the Art, 5 Star Green Star Multi trades facility that will provide specialised training in Construction, Carpentry, Electrical and Plumbing, to support trades skills shortages in the Western Sydney Region.
The Institute of Applied Technology Construction is a new educational offering from the NSW Government, where leading educational institutions and industry will co-locate, co-design, and co-deliver theoretical and practical learning. It will provide employable outcomes, transferrable skills, blended learning, and flexible pathways. This will ensure that NSW has a workforce ready to meet the needs of industry and future infrastructure demand.
