A new high school and new primary school that will service two of the State's fastest growing communities are another step closer, with architects appointed to the projects.
Three Tasmanian architectural firms with significant experience in designing contemporary education infrastructure in Tasmania have been appointed to the Brighton High School and Legana Primary School projects.
Jaws Architects and Heffernan Button Voss Architects have been appointed to co-design the new $50 million Brighton High School, which will cater for up to 600 students.
And architectural firm Cumulus Studio has been engaged to design the new $24 million Legana Primary School, which will cater for up to 350 students.
The two new Tasmanian Government schools are part of our plan to improve education outcomes and provide modern facilities for our learners.
Engaging the architects for these major projects is a significant milestone and project working groups will now be established to commence development of concept master plans for both schools.
Extensive community engagement has already been undertaken for these new schools and once concept plans are developed, these will also be made available to the community for further feedback.
