The Ivanhoe Grammar Coonawarra Willam Aquatic Centre is aimed at enhancing the educational and recreational offerings of the school. This transformative project encompassed the development of a state-of-the-art aquatic and wellness centre, featuring two new pools, change facilities, multipurpose rooms, and a gymnasium. Additionally, it included the construction of new outdoor sports facilities, comprising nine tennis courts, an artificial hockey pitch, and a new turf soccer pitch.
This project was constructed at the heart of the Plenty Campus, seamlessly integrating with the school’s existing facilities. Its central location ensures easy access for students, staff, and the broader school community, serving as a vibrant hub for physical fitness, education, and engagement.
The scope of this project was comprehensive, covering the construction of the following key components:
- Aquatic facilities: The aquatic centre houses both a dedicated Learn to Swim pool and a 25-meter pool, complete with modern and spacious changing room facilities. These pools now serve as a cornerstone for aquatic education, training, and recreational activities within the school community.
- Wellness centre: The wellness centre features a well-equipped gymnasium, providing students and staff with a dedicated space for physical fitness and well-being. Additionally, four multi-use classrooms were integrated into this space, offering flexibility for various educational and fitness programs.
- Outdoor sports facilities: The project extended beyond the indoor spaces, with the construction of cutting-edge sports fields, including a soccer pitch and a versatile hockey field that converts to multiple tennis and netball courts.
Our involvement in the initial Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) stage underscored our commitment to delivering a world-class facility that aligned with the school’s vision and objectives. During this stage, we worked closely with the school to collaborate on design, budgeting, and project planning, ensuring that the end result met the highest standards and expectations.
