This project builds on masterplanning work completed by Harrison and White in 2018 and is part of the wider Lilydale and Upper Yarra Education Plan. Expressing a strong sense of Lilydale High School’s identity within and beyond the campus, these works articulate the school’s pedagogical expertise in zoology and expand upon existing zoology facilities, widely appreciated in the broader community.
A new Zoology facility for the school replaces a series of existing portables to create a benchmark purpose-built school facility, developing the school’s considerable expertise in this area. This building forms a new identity for the school in a gatehouse location at the school’s main entry and will be used widely. A new Administration building houses school management, reception and staff facilities and enjoys excellent northern aspect onto the school oval, and a new entry point in a landscape plaza servicing both main entry and the Zoology facility.
