Driving down Harvest Home Road towards the College, you might have noticed the large structure currently taking shape right at the front of ÌÇÐÄvlogÆƽâ°æ, next to the Primary building.
This massive structure is our new multi-purpose Sports and Outdoor Learning Canopy. It is a tension membrane structure using a PTFE (Teflon coated fiberglass) fabric – a material that is generally used for modern stadium roofing.
The elegant structure measures 37.8m x 21m wide and just under 10m high at the centre. One prominent feature will be the retractable basketball hoops that can be operated remotely.
Architecturally striking in design, the turtle-shaped roof structure has only 4 columns, improving user safety and sightlines throughout. It also enhances the surrounding architecture.
The robust and high light transmission membrane will bleach to a white colour, providing an ambient soft light underneath – an ideal space for our students to learn.
The structure is designed, engineered and installed by Edge Structures Pty Ltd.
