Carlton Learning Precinct

Carlton Learning Precinct is a co-educational government primary school and social services facility that revitalised an outdated school building in the inner northern suburb of Carlton. The new covered outdoor learning area (COLA) on the prominent street corner creates a landmark and visually permeable connection to the street and surrounds. 

The design aimed to create a green, open and welcoming entry by blurring the distinction between school and the streetscape. In doing so connection to the wider community. The work includes an early learning play area with a hungry caterpillar tree house, sand pit and mini forest.
