Our Scope

Marshall Day was engaged as both acoustic and theatre consultants for this project. Our scope included sound insulation, building services noise control, room acoustics, vibration as well as theatre design consulting for the school’s new theatre which will act as a community venue, available to be hired out to the community and operated independently.

The spaces consist of a series of generous open-plan spaces referred to as ‘villas’, large light-filled common areas which act as an inspiring amphitheatre type open space that encourages group activities and collaborative learning, surrounded by smaller classrooms and activity spaces.
