PROJECT BACKGROUND
St Michaels, located in the inner suburb of St Kilda has for more than 125 years, provided an expansive, holistic education to generations of children and young Melbournians.
The three level, K-Year 12 building known as The Gipson Commons includes spaces for knowledge, science, food technology and school café within an urban context of adjacent apartments, townhouses and individual residences amid a busy road.
At ground level the building works seamlessly with the ground plane of the school campus – revealing a cafeteria space that is almost part of the landscape – a space for refuelling, recreation, learning and social interaction.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Gallagher Jeffs has been appointed as Project Manager to manage the design from schematic design, leading the contractor tender and negotiation, drive the formal value management phase and manage of the contractor through to completion.
