Glenelg Primary School Facility Upgrade

Modern learning environments demand buildings that can be delivered quickly without compromising architectural quality. We provided the cold formed steel structural engineering for Glenelg Primary School's facility upgrade, supporting the delivery of three modular buildings incorporating classrooms, teacher preparation areas and breakout spaces. The project demonstrated how prefabricated light gauge steel framing can achieve both construction efficiency and architectural precision, receiving the Innovative Cold Formed Steel Buildings Award at the 2024 South Australian, Australian Steel Excellence Awards.
