The redeveloped Taylor Primary School has been recognised at the Australian Institute of Architects Awards (ACT Chapter).
ACT Minister for Education and Training Joy Burch congratulated the team at Small Quinton Coleman Architects who took out the Education Prize for their work on the school’s redesign.
The Australian Institute of Architects Awards recognise outstanding achievements and excellence in architecture from around the country. Small Quinton Coleman Architects are now shortlisted for the National Awards to be held on 6 November 2014.
“Taylor Primary School has settled back into normal school life again after being relocated to Namadgi School for a short period in 2012 following the discovery of structural concerns,” Ms Burch said.
“The ACT Government is committed to providing high quality learning environments for students and Taylor Primary School represents the best of contemporary school architecture nationally.”
Taylor Primary School is also nominated in the 2014 Master Builders and Cbus Excellence in Building Awards alongside Duffy and Neville Bonner Primary Schools, Holder Early Childhood School and Daramalan College and John Paul College.
