The school, with over 1100 students, has one of the highest student populations in the state.
The new development at Harbord Public school addresses a critical shortfall in permanent on-site accommodation.
The building is sited to celebrate a natural sandstone outcrop and to create a new courtyard in front of the heritage listed classroom block.
It is a three storey structure located along the west street façade. It creates a new corner entry and forecourt celebrating the heritage building on site.
The new building provides 18 classrooms on three levels with a two storey contemporary library straddling a new Covered Outdoor Learning Area (COLA).
The development seeks to provide environments which support the schools drive to develop contemporary pedagogy. The design allows for flexibility in classroom use and incorporates generous learning commons with differentiated learning environments within.
