Wyndham Central College were looking to upgrade a central walkway and seating area by providing a new roof structure to provide a waterproof link, along with a larger extension off the side to cover the seating/passive area. The original area was very exposed to the elements and very uncomfortable for students and staff, resulting in very limited use of the space.

The outcome

The main walkway design was developed as a skillion roof to match into surrounding building styles and simplify the stormwater management, with a custom end cantilever design to mirror the layout of the surrounding garden and paving edges. The selection of Colorbond finishes matches to surrounding buildings along with the very robust hot dip galvanised structural steelwork. The addition of extra seating and synthetic grass under the structure has completely transformed the space and it is now the most popular area in the school!
