School design awards<br />
showcase cutting-edge<br />
architecture<br />
A new benchmark was set for architects and school communities<br />
recently, when the best <strong>of</strong> cutting-edge design was showcased<br />
at the School Design Awards.<br />
The state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art Dandenong High School, designed by Hayball architects,<br />
has claimed top billing at the <strong>2009</strong> School Design Awards. The school not<br />
only took out the best overall design honour, but was also awarded Best<br />
Secondary School. Dandenong High School is a major regeneration<br />
project that amalgamates three existing schools, and over 2000<br />
students, into one new campus.<br />
The recently completed first stage <strong>of</strong> the project comprises<br />
three School Within a School (SWIS) buildings, which<br />
feature adaptable learning areas that open onto a central<br />
common. Alongside these learning areas sit art and<br />
science laboratories with workbenches that cleverly<br />
extend into outdoor breakout spaces.<br />
