New Sports Pavilion
Designed to integrate within the historic
surroundings, this facility has accommodation for two sporting teams,
officials and reception facilities for 200 guests.
- Location: Guildford Grammer School
- Contract source: Tendered Contract Design & Construct
Prominent design feature: Using the surrounding environment and adjacent historic
buildings for inspiration, this pavilion has been designed to integrate within
the grounds of Guildford Grammar. Ground Floor of the building has dressing and
coaching facilities for two sporting teams, and separate facilities for
officials. The Upper Floor contains function facilities for 200, together with
a commercial kitchen which doubles as a kiosk during sporting activities. The
building is located on the embankment of the adjacent sporting ground, and full
perimeter verandah on the upper level as spectator viewing when a game is in
progress. Oversized verandahs on the upper level protect from both rain and
heat, ensuring spectator comfort in all weather conditions.
Construction
features: To
integrate with the surrounding environment and the existing historic buildings,
clay brick and zincalume have been used in this structure. Timber batten
linings to the upper level verandas will provide a strong link with some of the
original buildings at the school.
Internal
features: The internal finish of the
change rooms have been designed and finished to minimise long term maintenance
issues and the reception facilities are designed to provide a warm and inviting
area for both formal dining and informal gatherings, with all necessary
amenities included. Both forms of function can be catered for within the
building or under the verandahs in appropriate conditions.
