A consultative process with Toowoomba Grammar School’s teachers and executive staff resulted in a re-imagining of their existing Roberts classroom building, transforming it into a contemporary learning centre which encourages team teaching and collaborative learning.
Novum’s involvement included the design and documentation of building works, as well as the internal finishes, audio visual equipment, furniture selections and fitout.
Working closely with the teaching staff, the design’s key considerations include flexibility of furniture arrangements, comfortable and robust furniture and fitout, direct access and supervision of breakout spaces, improved natural and artificial lighting (including control of lighting and potential glare), writable and pinnable surfaces, acoustic quality (sound absorption) and acoustic separation (including high performance operable walls and glazing).
