Final: Model of the Arts Centre

Final: Posters

Arts Centre, Torquay Senior College

Materials
The auditorium/theatre normally a loud space, so i've research a few materials and found that concrete is the best material for sound-proofing. I can also use a thick insulation with carpeted walls. Concrete is sustainable and can be reuse for future use. Also, concrete from demolished buildings can be reused for new concrete components.

Sustainability
For the roof, I'm going to use a double-skin roof which is also known as a ventilated roof or cold deck. The typical characteristic is that the ventilated air layer directly above the layer of insulation. This air layer guarantees the removal of any water vapour from the interior that might diffuse through the insulation.

Torquay Senior College

This is our final arrangement of our school buildings. The admin is located at the front to welcome the students and guests into the school, and beside the admin building is the drop off zone, mainly for buses. The gym is situated to the left of the school so that its closer to the primary school, and the basketball court can be use for both of the school. Also, the arts centre is located on the very right near the parking space to allow public use as well, for functions at the gallery, graduation ceremonies, school play and etc.. Classrooms are located near the technology centre and multimedia centre to encourage the students to walk through the courtyard and pathways of the school grounds.

Individual Buildings

The group have decided to have 6 individual buildings or departments for the secondary school. And we have also arrange it this way so that there is interaction and the students can walk around the school and enjoy the greeneries and courtyards within the school itself. We also decided to make to entrance or walkway that connects to the primary school. This will allow them to use the secondary school's facilities for example like the gym for their assembly or PE. The 6 buildings are the administration, classroom block, arts centre, gymnasium, library and multimedia centre; and the technology centre.
