Building the Education Revolution (BER) Federal Government initiative – and the resultant workflow associated with the Victorian State Government Economic Stimulus Package (ESP) – represents more than $1.5 billion worth of capital works for government schools.
Hayball (in association with Gray Puksand) was commissioned to produce 21 building templates, comprising the core of the BER rollout. The building designs included 21st century models for primary schools, libraries, learning neighbourhoods and science and language centres.
The templates were designed, developed, peer reviewed and documented to pre-tender ready packages within a very short timeframe to meet federal government objectives. With the incorporation of an exhaustive design guide, this initiative was developed with a philosophy of flexibility, variety and opportunity for the delivery of education in Victoria.
