The brief was to ensure the interiors did not look institutional or standard classroom style but rather, visually engage both students & the wider community for the purpose of physical & mental health. The building consisted of a community cafe, a commercial nutrition centre, a community room, a uniform store, psychologist rooms, physiotherapy room, staff hot desk area, gymnasium, weights room, dance/yoga/pilates room, conference/teaching zones, meditation room, recharge room, collaborative meeting room, expressive art room, a rooftop & carpark. Colours, visual images & textures were critical as some areas were for evoking a sense of calm whilst others were for engaging play & creativity. Janineous Design were brought in late to the project after building had commenced with a very low budget and many teaching departments to liaise with & consider including students & parents.
