COMMENCING 2018
according To plan. A BLOG |
the point of no return
Hello readers,
By way of introduction, Regent College is a Christian primary school in Western Australia. After much planning, we're cracking on with a demolition and rebuild project on our inner city site. We have reached the point in time, where significant changes are required to the physical environment in order to meet the future needs of our students.
It's hard to say goodbye to buildings that reflect the past (and legacy) of the college. These buildings had a lovely facade, reflecting their mid century building design. In the end however, there was little time for sentimentality, as the demolition phase was timed only days after the end of the school term. We've had the opportunity to record the demolition using time lapse photography, and you can watch it below. I particularly liked seeing the shadows shift across the site throughout the day.
The administration block and junior playgrounds have been removed as part of this process. We also needed to say farewell to a few trees, but we will see more greenery added to the site by the project's completion. There will be some significant challenges to this build, mostly related to continuing to operate as a college as the work is done. A big shake up however can bring many positive outcomes. I anticipate there will be unintended, but valuable consequences from this state of being, brought about by the creativity and innovation required to cope with disruption.
