Site Tour: Cannon Hill Anglican College

Join us on this tour of the new D Block building at Cannon Hill Anglican College. A collaborative event between Building Design Queensland and Design Matters National.

 

The Cannon Hill Anglican College D Block development creates a new double-storey building housing six new teaching and learning spaces, breakout spaces, an outdoor deck, locker bays, student amenities, a contemporary kitchen and a new food and beverage precinct for students.

Project Details

Working in conjunction with the College’s masterplan, the new building is a high-profile location for the campus and forms a critical connection for the linear journey from Prep to Year 12. The building provides a natural entry point into the campus and is an important intersection between the senior and middle schools. The building was intended to give CHAC flexibility in using the space acknowledging CHAC’s desire as part of the Masterplan to be able to use the space for a wide variety of functions, events and learning experiences. It was important that the design responded to the existing bushland context. It was also important that the construction of the building and the end use building had minimal disruption to existing mature trees on the campus.

Choosing a palette of white brick enhances the sense of surrounding bushland by providing a perfect background for the leaf shadows from the surrounding trees. The bushland inspired interior colour palette of muted greys, greens and pinks work as “wayfinding” prompts, helping students and visitors to the campus to navigate through the area.

Every classroom is intentionally different due to outlook, orientation and as a response to the site
