McBride Charles Ryan, Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School, Infinity Centre

At a practical level, the Infinity Centre, a new senior school for the Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School, provides all the structured areas required of such a facility. Beyond this, the design is developed as an abstraction of the infinity symbol. The institution’s approach to teaching and learning is reflected through the key concepts embedded in the design – the dynamic between structure and fluidity, and between uniformity and individuality.
