About the project

​​​We modernised Port Melbourne Primary School by building a new gym for school and community use. We also re-located modular buildings and upgraded the arts and music building.​​ ​

​​​The new gym is located on the Clark Street school boundary. We designed it with an acoustic ceiling​ and panelling, and double-glazed windows to reduce noise.

Features of the gymnasium include: 

  • an indoor, competition-size basketball and netball court
  • the flexibility to serve as an event and performance space for the school community
  • change rooms and toilets 
  • a kitchenette/ canteen
  • rainwater tanks for toilet flushing and ground irrigation.

Upgrading the arts and music building has allowed the school to offer a more comprehensive and inclusive arts program.​

This project, designed by Williams Boag, was a finalist in the 2019 Victorian School Design Awards.

Funding

In the 2016–17 State Budget, $12 million was allocated to schools across the State for planning. This included funding for Port Melbourne Primary School. The Victorian Government has allocated a further $5.496 million to the school.
