“Adelaide East Education Centre thoroughly commend Pascale Construction for their quality workmanship and collaborative relationship with all participating in this process" Jamie Price, Principal
Process
Pascale Construction was contracted by the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) to construct the new Kensington Special School which was relocated to a more spacious area within the Charles Campbell Secondary School.
The project involved the construction of a 3,000m2 single storey steel framed building with masonry walls and light weight cladding.
The building accommodates specialised classrooms, gymnasium and administration offices which had a very specific brief with the requirement for a high standard of compliance and quality to meet the special needs of the students.
In addition, extensive landscaping with a large paving area, native plants and in-ground irrigation was included in the design.
Resolution
Ongoing communication with neighbours occurred regularly including numerous meetings to discuss work methods on the construction, entry adjoining properties to carry out works and finishes of the boundary fencing.
The Adelaide East Education Centre provides quality teaching and care to 55 students with intellectual disability and special needs such as Autism and Asperger disorder. Pascale managed to successfully meet the tight timeframe and completed the work in October 2014.
