Bairnsdale Secondary College - Year 7 Common Canopy
Bairnsdale Secondary College
Located in eastern Victoria, Bairnsdale Secondary College expansion consisted of a new Science wing, Year 7 hub and common area canopy. As part of the construction work, each building structure was broken into stages to facilitate limited work area. Deliveries were carefully coordinated with the builder to match his construction schedule.
Year 7 Common Canopy
Designed off the year 7 hub but structurally independent, this architecturally designed “common area” canopy with up to 12.5m truss spans, incorporated a roof design which spiralled around a central high-level clerestory window structure. This four-sided spiral roof design required accurate modelling to ensure correct transitioning between the different roof slope pitches.
