ARM Architecture has been selected to develop a masterplan for a major capital works project at De La Salle College in Malvern, Melbourne. The competitive tender process was conducted by the college, a Catholic Boys school providing education to years 5-12 students, in consultation with Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools.
The brief requires revitalizing and adding new facilities to the existing campuses, Tiverton and Kinnoull, to meet anticipated student growth. This project will be the largest capital works project undertaken by the college in nearly half a century. A key feature of the masterplan will be a new performing arts centre on the Tiverton campus.
According to Jesse Judd, Director, ARM, “We are genuinely excited to be working with the college to create a masterplan that addresses current needs and anticipates future growth.” He added, “Our commitment is that the masterplan and identified projects reflect and enhance De La Salle’s unique Catholic identity, supporting lifelong learning, faith, and community involvement.”
The project’s first phase will involve developing a masterplan for all three campuses, followed by design and implementation stages. The masterplan process is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
