We were delighted to continue our presence at Avila College by delivering the new, two-storey St Teresa Library and Research Centre.
This new facility, which marks the final stage of the College's Master Plan, is situated in the heart of the school and provides a dynamic central hub for research, study, and collaboration. Notably, it features an exposed CLT and GLT structure—an innovative and environmentally sustainable alternative that also serves as a key architectural feature.
The ground floor accommodates a large collaboration space, staff offices, and meeting rooms. A centralised staircase with custom curved steel leads to the first floor, which houses the primary resource hub and additional staff workspaces. Localised demolition at the first-floor level was undertaken to create two link bridges connecting the new facility with existing buildings.
