First up we did a spacial diagram to try to gain an understanding of what building srelate with each other and as a result, should connect with each other.
From here we were able to produce our master plan for the proposed year 10 - 12 high school.
As part of our master plan response, we tried to resolve the traffic build up on Grossmans Rd by making the current site entry into a bus drop off zone only and we provided car parking and a student drop off zone on the side of the site with an access road on the private land.
from here we positioned the buildings. We located the cafe and design technology centre near the bus drop off and car park so that supplies can be delivered easily.
We wanted to keep the library central as this is a space that the whole school will require access to and it is often used during the lunch break. We also wanted to allow space around it so it could be utilised as an outdoor space.
The performing arts theatre and music room were positioned to the west of the site and within close proximity of the car par. The reasons for this is that firstly, these are lounder areas and we wanted them to be separated from the general classroom areas and secondly, these areas can be utilised by the community outside of school hours and this location will prevent the community having to walk through the school.
After much discussion, it was decided to locate the gym on the south side of the site so that it links up with the basketball courts and oval of Torquay College.
