Abbotsleigh School Campus
Pacific Hwy, Wahroonga NSW
Mayoh have worked with Abbotsleigh College over a number of years creating a masterplan for their Wahroonga site, as well as completing various buildings throughout the school. Completed Projects:
Senior Boarding Houses
Aquatic Centre
Abbotsleigh Junior School
Senior Studies Centre
Senior Boarding Houses
The topography and surrounding trees which included remnants of a Blue Gum High Forest provided the basis for a unique design. The location of the trees and the steep slope of the site which included a 12 metre cross-fall were major influences on the building layout. These presented some challenges but also some wonderful opportunities for a stepped building form that integrated with the natural environment in an interesting way.
Aquatic Centre
Designed to be low scale and nestled within the natural setting, the Abbotsleigh Aquatic Centre has spacious and light filled interior with a large steel arched roof spanning the pool deck.
Abbotsleigh Junior School
“The Junior School offers bright, technology rich, adaptable classrooms and learning spaces for children from Transition to Year 6. Our expansive, tree-studded grounds invite exploration and active play, and include vegetable gardens and sets of outdoor play equipment.” Abbotsleigh School’s website.
Masterplan
Through thorough client consultation, the new Wahroonga campus masterplan identified new pedestrian and vehicular links and visual connections between green spaces. It also noted locations for new buildings, as well as nominating existing buildings requiring retention, refurbishment or demolition.
