The new Allenvale, Burnside Primary and Cobham Intermediate campus brings the three schools together in one location. There they benefit from sharing facilities, while continuing to maintain their own separate teaching spaces.

The project stretches over 7,700m2 of floor space, with a configuration of 7 new teaching blocks, an administration building and dual-purpose gymnasium that doubles as a hall for assemblies and large gatherings when needed. Extensive hardscape areas of 11,000m2 and associated landscaping were also part of the project’s scope.
