Birralee小学为学生们提供了愉快的日常教学环境和活动空间，创造了良好的室内和室外环境。由于预算有限，该项目在添加新设计、改良或保留原来设计方面下了很多功夫，创造了一系列教学空间和活动空间。校园的设施经过更新，更能满足师生的需求，长远来看，能招收300名学生（是目前招生数的两倍）。该项目的预算只有三百万美元，Kerstin Thompson Architects事务所添加了新设计，也改良了之前的设计，还新建了图书馆。

学校周围是环形的道路，走廊也进行了重新设计，位于北边。走廊相当于学校的新入口，连接着接待室、教室、食堂和体育场。周围新建了坡道，进出方便。接待室和行政管理室位于西区，这里视野开阔，可以欣赏到美丽的街景。建造时，采用当地的建材，主要为砖结构。学校的员工室位于南边，室内光线充足，视野很好，旁边是校长和副校长办公室。

学校的设计很有层次感，轮廓分明，新建了很多教室。加强了各教室的空间联系。学生们在大教室内互相交流、分享感受，学习氛围很好。教室内光线充足、空间宽敞、视野开阔，室内有滑动门，打开后便于开展多种活动。走廊周围的教室和户外相连，可以促进学生们的户外学习体验。

建筑师重新设计、整合之前的设施，没有拆除它们，更加环保，完善了教室的功能，优化了空间布局，注重节约原材料和能源。之前的走廊比较昏暗，现在的走廊非常明亮，采光很好，空间设计更加灵活。建筑师对天窗也进行了设计，增强了采光效果，减少热量损失。屋顶和墙壁的隔音效果也有所增强。

From the architect. Birralee Primary School is testament to what architecture can do to enhance the enjoyment of the day-to-day activities of a school community. This project strategically reconfigures a 1960’s LTC to create a more delightful sequence of indoor and outdoor play and learning spaces. An extremely limited budget demanded design precision in choosing what to add, adapt and retain to improve the overall experience for students, teachers and parents. Here the role of architecture is less about elaborate detailing and flamboyant gestures and more about a subtle series of spatial restructuring/interventions to provide a coherent campus and enable a broader range of activities, which align with the school’s pedagogic aspirations.

The brief was to upgrade the School’s facilities in line with their teaching pedagogy and towards a long-term enrolment of 300 students (double the current enrollment). With a project budget of only $3M, the project was part new build and part reconfiguration of existing buildings after early feasibility studies by kta revealed that this approach would provide the best value. The design agenda became one of stitching together two disparate existing buildings; a long linear low-lying 60s LTC building and recent freestanding BER library..

In solving the access issues posed by the level changes of the existing campus the main architectural device of a linking landscape was deployed.The project re-configures the primary circulation paths throughout the school. The internal dark 60s corridor in the LTC is removed and replaced with a new external verandah along the northern edge of the main building which:

A new reception/administration building located at the west end of the existing 60s building defines a new entry to the school and provides much desired street presence. Drawing upon the local brick vernacular the school introduces a civic element to the neighbourhood. The staff room is located on the south side maximising light and views and the principal and assistant principals’ offices occupy the facade to act as gatekeepers of sorts between the street and school.

The existing linear and multi-level LTC building was divided into single level classroom clusters, linked by the new external verandah. Each cluster was re-configured in both plan and section to accommodate enlarged classrooms and shared collaborative learning, back racks, wet areas and quieter withdrawal spaces. Low level and highlight windows provide visual and spatial connections between the spaces. Entries to the classrooms are offset and pin wheeled off the communal spaces with large sliding doors, which can be closed down for special phonex teaching or opened up for shared activities. The northern classrooms and collaborative learning spaces open up and have direct access to the verandah for outdoor learning.

By opting for the integration of existing buildings and facilities instead of a demolition and new works program, we have selected the most environmentally mindful route. By adaptively re-using the existing structures and enhancing and improving functionality of these spaces, we have conserved materials and energy that would have otherwise expended in the construction of a completely new building.By removing the dark internal 60s corridor in the LTC and replacing it with a new external verandah along the northern edge of the main building we have introduced an abundance of natural light, all weather shelter and more flexible learning spaces.

The verandah also provides the new entry to the school; links the different programs – new reception, each learning cluster, canteen and the existing oval and sports courts; introduces ramps to provide universal access to an existing multi-level building; incorporates the ramp with terraces, seating and steps for outdoor learning and play.Other works to the existing buildings included replacing all seals, rationalising skylights and highlights to reduce heat gain and heat loss; and insulating roofs and walls.
