Holy Family Multipurpose Hall
Indooroopilly, Australia
The
Multipurpose Hall was funded by the Building the Education Revolution (BER) Programme
through Brisbane Catholic Education. The client requested an iconic building to
provide a much-needed covered outdoor area for sporting activities and
arts-based events and to reinforce the school's identity.
The
building was erected on the site of the existing double tennis courts and is
equipped with a full-sized tennis court, handball courts, stage and off stage
area, multipurpose room, storage for
sports equipment, amenities and AV facilities. The building is used on an
every-day basis by the school as a gathering space - it accommodates the entire
school cohort - for specific lessons and for play. It is also used by the
parish and community to host sporting and cultural events.
The
brightly striped façade responds to the vibrancy of the adjacent play equipment
and gives the school a presence at street level. The choice of colour was
critical to the success of the building - the school colours provided a
starting point but these are presented in couplets which allowed the use of
strong but not bright colour and prevented any one colour from dominating. At
night, the facade is illuminated to great effect. Respect is paid to the HolyFamilyChurch on the same site,
through the use of neutral colours at higher levels.
The
floor plan and form of the hall was the result of a close collaborative process
with the school principal and the school community was kept well informed of
progress throughout. The materials used
- fibre cement sheet, concrete block, multicell polycarbonate, EPS walling,
timber composite battens and metal cladding - were chosen as they are cost
effective, low maintenance and robust and they could be used in combination to
provide an engaging and child-friendly space. The space is easily accessed from
the school buildings via the covered stair and also from the adjacent
playground as much of the southern facade opens up via three large roller
doors.
Holy
Family Multipurpose Hall demonstrates sustainability in that it is appropriate
for its environment, is a flexible space designed to accommodate a wide variety
of human activity and has been constructed to a limited budget. It demonstrates the following environmental
initiatives: underground rain water tank for landscaping and toilet-flushing,
dual flush toilets, low energy lighting, wall and roof insulation, natural
ventilation and ceiling fans, energy efficient glazing, roller shutters to
western facade. At the social level, the building has been designed for a range
of activities and user groups - it connects the school and parish to the
community and reinforces social networks.
It is a safe and comfortable environment which is highly adaptable. The
building is engaging and aesthetically pleasing and reinforces the school's
physical presence. Economically, the Hall was built with defined funding from
low-maintenance and robust materials. Energy-efficient initiatives help to
reduce running costs and flexible design may help to reduce future
refurbishment costs.
The
Multipurpose Hall in its prominent location on Central Avenue Indooroopilly
gives a small CatholicSchool a strong physical
identity in the local community.
