Project Description

Following our preparation of the PDR—which evaluated six distinct seismic mitigation options—Public Architecture is now leading the full seismic upgrade and renewal of Grenfell Elementary. While students are temporarily accommodated at South Hill, the site is being transformed into a modern hub for 465 learners. The scope includes an early learning program, comprehensive accessibility improvements, and a nature park designed to facilitate outdoor education and community connection.
