Perth has never recorded snow on the ground. It rarely gets cold enough for snow to fall or frost to form. Source: http://www.australia.com/en-my/facts/weather/perth-weather.html

Sustainable Strategies

Respond to Climate

Structur e& Constru ction

Structural steel and timber used is sourced from forest certification schemes or re-used. certain building elements are exposed so students can engage with the implementation of sustainable architecture.

All of the structural elements can be disassembled and reused at end of life. ● Decrease consumption of natural resources ● Decrease waste in landfills.

Floor

In-situ concrete ground slab and precast Delta flooring.
