With considered design and a collaborative approach, existing school infrastructure can have the potential to be adapted to create 21st Century learning spaces and places that have a lower environmental impact.

A lot can happen in 90 days. In these uncertain times, we’re all hoping (and praying) that a three-month window will be enough to get Australia, and the world, back on track and keep the dreaded COVERT-19 virus under control.

The built environment in Australia accounts for 25% of our country’s CO2 emissions; emissions during construction are responsible for anywhere between 10% and 97% of the whole of building lifecycle.

The end of the financial year is an ideal time to examine your school’s building asset portfolio to check whether it’s on track to meet your goals for delivering excellence in education.

The best way to do this is by introducing or reviewing a campus-wide master plan.
