Bayside College

GHD was commissioned to prepare a design for a new Year 1 through to Year 9 campus at Bayside College in Australia. The campus facilitates the merger of several local schools.

The layout of the various buildings are structured around the idea of communal learning villages sharing a common resource centre.

The ‘villages’ consist of flexible groups of learning areas capable of reconfiguration with a variety of operable sliding, folding and pivot walls. These are arranged around resource-rich technology and meeting areas and shared facilities.

The buildings incorporate integrated sustainability features including natural ventilation systems with thermal chimneys in the atriums connected to automated louvre systems, and rainwater harvesting for re-use and wetland systems.

In the industrial world, it is not enough to design facilities that are visually pleasing. First, industrial facilities must be functional. That is why GHD integrates architecture, process, and building design and engineering. This teaming assists in coordinating the crucial interfaces between the process equipment, the building layout, the structure and the building services to accommodate plant installations, building fabric and operational efficiencies.

We work with clients to maximise quality outcomes (on time and on budget), decrease lost production time, increase capacity to meet operational objectives, and take into account user and community needs. GHD has worked on building or upgrading facilities or operational plant and workshops in manufacturing, vehicle parking and servicing, stores, warehouses, cool stores, distribution, food, pharmaceuticals, production lines, petroleum and gas production, laboratories, abattoirs and commercial laundries. We can also assist with industry land use planning, and industrial parks and free zones.

Today's built environment presents complex challenges to society and the design professionals who shape it. No longer can projects be addressed in simple terms, as the community demands performance in every aspect of the development cycle. GHD is committed to delivering innovative projects that integrate social, cultural, economic and political values into sustainable design solutions. GHD's urban planners, architects, landscape architects, environmental scientists, building engineers, traffic and civil engineers are some of the in-house design professionals who form our powerful multi-disciplinary project teams.
