Completing the 1999 Masterplan developed by TKD Architects for the school’s future growth, the new Joan Freeman Science and Technology Centre includes six science laboratories, four Technological and Applied Studies (TAS) rooms and six art classrooms over four levels in the inner-city suburb of Darlinghurst. Other associated facilities include a 254-seat tiered lecture theatre, underground carpark, a large outdoor roof terrace and a new landscaped St Peters Street pedestrian entry. The Joan Freeman Science and Technology Centre incorporates a number of environmental initiatives, including natural ventilation and daylighting, use of thermal mass temperature control, rainwater collection and reuse.
