Text description provided by the architects. Located at the corner of Steen Avenue and Edgars Road, what was initially a steep rocky site has not been transformed into burgeoning school that will eventually offer 1800 student placements for school-going children from years 7 to 12. Designed by Brand Architects in Melbourne, Australia in collaboration with the Victorian School Building Authority, the new Edgars Creek Secondary College addresses the suburb’s demand for rapidly increasing student enrolment for the growing suburb in Epping North. The pioneering stage comprises of two buildings to the north of the site – providing the starting point to the wider community precinct that is planned for the area. Together with future stages of the school, a primary plan, community active centre and council reserve rounds off an integrated community approach to the outskirt suburb. With these intentions in mind, Brand Architects founded the design on a larger context – addressing concepts of connectivity, openness and accessibility; all while acknowledging and integrating aspects of the surrounding context.
