The perfect example of old meets new, this project blends refurbished heritage structures with state of the art vertical teaching spaces. Delivered in partnership with FJMT, careful planning and innovative thinking underpinned this project, using BIM technology to map base building elements, manage complex services installations and ensure protection of nearby trees.

Prioritising safety throughout this complex project, a comprehensive fire safety strategy was developed from the outset, in response to the close proximity of construction works and heritage structures. The project team expertly managed the challenges associated with a live environment, with carefully considered staging and crane-fitted interlock systems to prevent lifting over operational school buildings.

To accommodate a seamless handover, a temporary generator provided power throughout commissioning of the heritage structures. Standing tall among the inner Sydney suburbs, the Inner Sydney High School is a worthy addition to Sydney’s city skyline.
