Stairwell/flyover remodelling

New disabled lift and remodelling of third floor building

Gutting and major renovation of the original building with the library moving back to take up most of the second floor there

November 16, 2002

Report - It looks like a bombsite on the lower floor inside the entrance - whole walls have gone near the general office and many of the old classrooms. I couldn't go into the construction zone where there are barricades, but these photos should give you an idea.

The prefabs containing admin and the principal's office

 

Prefabs near Prospect Hill Road

 

The courtyard is closed off

 

The Assembly Hall internal entrance is closed off

 

The old Art room is out of bounds

 

Rooms 13 and 14

 

February 3rd and 10th, 2003

Report - The old stairwell on the south side has been totally transformed - the old stair up to that pokey office has gone. No more painted concrete. Lovely heavy duty lino on the stairs and the walkway, which is now accessible to the students. The front entrance is still barred, so access is via the canteen and up the stairs to the courtyard. The Assembly Hall is full of tables and chairs for classes. Lots of portables on the end of the oval towards the adjacent tennis courts.

Looking towards Room 20 - the old Library. The interior walls of Rooms 16, 17, 18 and 19 have gone and the new 500 square metre Libary will occupy this space.
