Learning Environments Australasia run a series of events supporting the community of educators and designers to share work and learning opportunities. One such local event was a tour of Hillbrook Anglican Schools recent work in their Upper Campus Precinct. It was great to tour the facilities and talk after about the challenges and opportunities the design team faced when developing a campus over time in a constrained urban context while still remaining operational.

Key to the success of the campus is a masterplan who’s strategies were developed prior to the projects being implemented so each project is working cohesively towards a long term vision. BSPN were key in implementing the vision to push buildings towards the edge of the property to curate pockets of open space thought the campus promoting the inside-outside relationship. In our opinion, this was the highlight of the visit as the landscape was the hero. We look forward to using this as an example to our clients in terms of approach but also an example of a masterplan in action.
