EARLY LEARNING CENTRE, FAMILY SERVICES, PRIMARY
SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY EVENT SPACE | carlton

Carlton Learning and Community Hub is a
co-educational government primary school
located in Carlton. The school currently has
a total enrolment of 99 students up to Year
6.

Law Architects was selected to investigate
the ability to transform the existing three
storey building (currently housing the
school) into a modernised 475 student
primary school with integrated Early learning
Centre, Family Services and Community
Hub. Extensive investigation and design
has gone not just into accommodating and
connecting all required facilities and stake
holders, but working within the existing
structure and services, including upgrading,
replacing, repurposing and strengthening
throughout. Existing conditions have
been used as ‘opportunities’ creating a
variety of different learning environments,
nooks/withdrawals, community facility
opportunities, numerous wet/cooking
studios, flexible gathering spaces and much
needed covered external areas.

Another key aim of the project is ‘identify’,
transforming the existing structure/grounds
into an exciting and modern learning (and
community) centre, within a limited budget
and entitled area restrictions.
