Biscoe Wilson Architects were responsible for the Master Planning and detailed design of the new high school at Calliope which was delivered in two stages. Biscoe Wilson Architects then worked with Paynters to deliver a successful project awarded as a QMBA Project of the Year.
All buildings are designed for equity and accessibility. A series of single and two-storey buildings are sited to form landscaped courts connected by a central covered spine acting as a village street and providing meeting places for students and the school community. A central green space expands to meet the sports oval and incorporates the student and canteen facilities. The materials and colour palette was selected for thermal capacity, durability and to establish the character of the school campus.
