Wildfell forms the heart of MGGS's middle school. Located within the school's Merton Hall campus in South Yarra, the project explores the possibility of creating a rich learning environment for middle years children on a dense inner urban site. Constructed under the school's playing fields, the precinct opens towards the north, allowing an integration of indoor and outdoor learning areas.
Internal areas are developed as a flexible range of settings for staff/student and student/student interaction. The technology rich environments of the general areas are enhanced by a specialist 'digilab' facility which provides a more focused, interactive environment.
Circulation areas are seen as important opportunities for social interaction. An open kitchen adjoining the central double height gathering space provides a sense of community and identity to the precinct.
