The rollout of BER projects from 2009 to 2011 provided Our Lady Help of Christian’s school the opportunity to rationalise a sprawling site layout a result of low budget ad-hoc development over many years.

Construction of a new Multi-Purpose facility provided the opportunity to convert the redundant covered area in to a new purpose built Library Facility. The reuse and modification of portal frames provided clear spans to internal spaces with, generous heights and clerestory glazing providing an abundance of natural light.

"The quality and attention to detail of the finished project extends beyond our overall expectations. This quality and attention to detail is beyond what we are getting from any other architectural firms..." - Mark Middleton, BER Project Administrator, Catholic Education
