The University of Melbourne together with partners including the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development have just announced CMA+U and Team winners of the Sustainability Award ʻFuture Proofing Schools Competitionʼ Australia. The competition explores design ideas for next generation relocatable 21st century learning spaces as part of Australia’s research program for Building the Education Revolution. More images and information on the awarded project after the break.
CMA+U’s submission is based on the concept of click-learning to extend learning landscapes. Click-Learn modules enable adaptable customization to the specifics of climate and site. The CNC fabricated timber system can be combined with prefab concrete or steel base structures as required and flat-pack delivered for rapid onsite assembly. Click-Learn structure integrates wall storage and shelving at multiple levels provides display & integrates data/light-track. Pods provide services, and intimate learning spaces. Structural Insulated Panel roof and wall cladding enables quick assembly and flexible adaptation with solid or glazed panels within the same frame. Powder coated metal/ timber panels bring bright fun colour choices or natural finishes. External roof/ wall louvers provide second skin for hot and humid climates.
