Fortitude Valley State Secondary College

RPS landscape architects have shaped the design of external learning and recreation spaces at Fortitude Valley State Secondary College in Brisbaneโ€™s inner north.

Challenge

Developed in response to a projected explosion in inner-city enrolments, Fortitude Valley State Secondary College will be the first school to open in inner Brisbane in more than 50 years.

Constrained by a small site that is flanked by high-density commercial and housing uses along with key urban rail and road corridors, land-use efficiency has been a guiding principle on the schoolโ€™s design.

Solution

Drawing on their experience delivering a wide range of award-winning education, health and leisure precincts across Brisbane, our landscape architects were chosen to complete concept masterplanning and stage one schematic design that would connect zones across this new โ€˜vertical schoolโ€™.

During completion of stage one documentation and construction, the design team remained involved by providing technical advisory reviews of the construction teamโ€™s documentation.

With a vision for the college to โ€œโ€ฆnot only physically build upwards [but] build connections outwards in to the community,โ€ our teamโ€™s design has focused on providing consistency and connection across the multi-level structures while creating a welcoming and unique centre that facilitates great learning experiences for students and teachers.

Key features of the design include outdoor learning terraces within the open space and a rooftop communal garden area. The landscape will provide consistency within the vertical structure connecting each level, ensuring that all students have access to unique learning and breakout spaces.
