A dynamic, contemporary and connected learning environment, embraced by students, teachers and the wider community.

With most of the Lyndale Secondary College’s buildings and facilities dating back to 1961, many had become unfit for purpose and were under-utilised and dilapidated. B2 worked closely with the school community and stakeholders to develop a Master Plan that would transform its facilities and deliver flexible, contemporary learning environments that would meet the needs of staff and students for decades to come.

The design solution was multifaceted and focused on making best use of the available budget, while allowing the works to be staged and undertaken while the school continued to operate.

Now complete, the first three stages of the Master Plan saw the development of a variety of new contemporary learning environments and spaces, including a performing arts centre with dedicated spaces for music and dance, a cafe and home economics centre, science and STEM centre, resources centre and library, technology centre and a landscaped external courtyard.

B2’s deep understanding of teaching and learning needs combined with their collaborative approach ensured the transformation of the college was embraced by students, teachers and the broader community”
