Completion of Building Refurbishments

FINAL COMPLETION OF BUILDING REFURBISHMENT WORKS

During the recent Term One 2020 school holiday period, the College’s Facilities Department completed the finishing touches to the Mannix Building refurbishment project that commenced in December 2019. All carpeted surfaces have been refurbished, and a full internal paint was undertaken to provide a brighter, more contemporary feel to the teaching and learning spaces within the building. This project completes the extensive refurbishment of three College buildings undertaken over the Christmas/New Year period and Term 1 2020 holidays.

Here is a recap of the works undertaken across our Murdoch, De Sales and Mannix Buildings:

  • The south section of the building was refurbished, with the installation of glass walls in 6 classrooms across both levels to support PBL (Project Based Learning)

  • New carpets and internal painting of the south section
  • Internal refurbishment of the newly created PBL Room
