Mulgrave School West Addition

The proposed three-storey addition totals approximately 2,500 square metres. The existing main buildings on the site provide the parameters for setting the massing for the West Addition. The massing along the southwest face of the West Addition is a smooth progression of the curve, which is scribed in the school campus by the Senior School Addition. The north elevation of the West Addition is set parallel to the original school.

Connections have been provided between the new addition and the west end of the existing school, at all levels through a new atrium that contains an exit/connector stair and elevator. In the new West Addition, the ground level facilitates an Early Learning Centre for 80 children. The level above houses the Art and Design Tech Studios which have direct access onto the existing multi-programmed green roof located to the south over the Senior School.

The 3rd Level of the West Addition houses five classrooms, two small study rooms and a learning commons as a consolidated pod of Junior School learning spaces. This level has direct access to grade at the north where a new student pick-up and drop-off zone is located. Above this level is the roof for the West Addition. It is designed as outdoor learning and play environment for the Junior School and has a covered area of over 380 sq m. This rooftop amenity has a direct, level connection to the top floor of the existing school where Kindergarten through Grade 3 classrooms are now located.
