Award winning design of Sikh Grammar School Australia
The Vision
The Sikh grammar school is the first of kind initiative in the Sikh community.
The major objective of the institution is to set up a school having students from pre-school to year 12 with the education program based on the syllabuses, curriculum and assessment requirements of registered and accredited schools in NSW.
• There will be facilities in the school for spiritual learning, sports,
cultural activities in line with the Sikh ethos and conventions, Sikh
values, language and heritage.
• It will have its own philosophy, ethos and practices and should excel in
meeting the corporate governance, teaching standards, educational
programs, boarding facilities and public reporting standards, curriculum,
safe and supportive environment, discipline, attendance and
management processes & procedures on the one hand and its premises
and buildings, facilities, educational/financial reporting and operations
on the other hand.
The architectural design work was awarded to arcINOVATIONZ The design was evolved from the closed hand and five fingers.
The palm of the hand depicting school' s playground and five fingers are the multipurpose hall, sports hall, secondary school, primary school and the admin library building. These five learning groups will be closely interlinked to each other offering a great level of interaction amongst the students and teachers.
The Results
An airy and highly flexible interior is the special design feature, which will help, in any future development.
Playgrounds and open spaces are provided in the central location making it the heart of the development depicting the school’s focus on health and fitness as well. This will further reinforce the school & community and will help in local event hosting etc.
There will be learning pods all around the primary and secondary school buildings allowing students to exchange information and learn by having high level of interconnection between multiple groups.
Every building of school has a special characteristic and has been designed to serve its function.
The Admin and Library Building
This school development is highly inspired by the agricultural surroundings and sustainability policies hence the materials chosen for the development are locally available and will be sourced from the green producers. The facade of admin building and multipurpose hall will have the combination of green prefabricated panels and claddings.
In keeping with its functions all the different buildings of the school have been designed to clearly express their relative purposes. The buildings will be spread on approx ten-acre parcel of land with minimal disturbance to the natural levels of land and not overpowering the calm rural surroundings.
