Open Plan Learning – Albany Senior High School

A unique New Zealand school uses open plan design to accommodate new methods of learning.

May 15th, 2014

Albany Senior High School caters for 1300 students and the plan was to design a highly open and flexible school to encourage new and varied methods of learning; both individual and group based.

After reviewing the project brief with the architect, Locker Group designed and provided a Balustrade throughout the school, including the Atrium stairs,using Ikon Galvanised Mesh.

This included 154 sheets in a variety of widths and heights.

The panels were installed by Sabre Engineering and Alpha Bay Fabrications.
