Harris HMC was engaged to deliver the cutting-edge new Louis William Arts Precinct at Firbank Grammar School. The refurbishment and extension have transformed an original school hall built in 1909 into a significant cultural and creative arts precinct dedicated to all forms of creativity including performance, dance, digital and studio arts. With state-of-the-art facilities and acoustically designed spaces, it is the newest addition to the precincts of the Brighton Campus. The project entailed the refurbishment and reconfiguration of existing classroom spaces and construction of new specialist spaces including a lecture theatre and ceramics facility all tied back into the existing building. During the demolition phase latent conditions and unique features including original fonts hidden behind dado walls were detected requiring a sensitive approach to their preservation and management.
