St Bernard’s College Senior Learning Centre, Essendon West VIC
Incredible architecture meets high quality craftsmanship, resulting in premium education facility
Posted By: Colin Beattie 14th, June 2023
Incredible design and architecture, blended with high quality finishes and products in the St Bernard’s College Senior Learning Centre has resulted in a premium, state-of-the-art learning space.
Architect, Baldasso Cortese designed the space, which gave the students and teachers an extra 20 learning spaces on their last building, including a break-out space and amphitheatre.
The scope of works featuring the SUPAWOOD product in the new Essendon school building was a feature ceiling finished in Tas Oak and Hoop Pine Limed SUPAFINISH, and customised with a 3D pyramid focal point, which hung suspended from the ceiling in the main foyer.
Acoustic ratings were provided, with the panels used in the pyramid design all having perforated patterns to meet specific acoustic regulations for noisy school buildings.

Curved feature walls were also created for the amphitheatre kitchenette area, finished in Hoop Pine Limed SUPAFINISH. The same finish was carried into the wall panelling in the main stair area, with some solid panels, and some custom perforated panels to cater for air vents behind the panels. The mix of solid and acoustic panels are placed in a brick pattern around the walls.
Being a school building, the main design had to be considered and design intent maintained, while keeping to the fire regulations in place. With the acoustic panels, open area on the panel had to be considered, as well as finishes, since all panels needed to be Fire Group 1-2 rated.
