ST ALOYSIUS JUNIOR SCHOOL


St Aloysius: Junior school image from Elder & Cannon

Although typical Primary Schools are single storey buildings on unrestricted sites, St. Aloysius College wanted to maintain its’ presence in the city centre and develop within the urban character of its campus, thereby strengthening the bond between upper and lower schools. The challenge became to design an effective school within the tight constraints of a site restricted by the shallow urban grid, and in the context of the streetscape.

The school is organised vertically. Classrooms are raised above Ground Floor to maximise security and privacy, and are organised around a triple-height central lightwell creating a light and airy ‘social’ orientation space. This has the double advantage of bringing natural light deep into the plan, limiting the requirements of artificial lighting throughout the building, while creating a passive stack effect, reducing the need for forced ventilation.
