The Melbourne School of Design is running a month-long exhibition showcasing the latest evidence and expert advice about designing, developing and sustaining schools as community hubs to enhance education, health and social connection.
Is your local school a community hub? Could it offer more to students, families and community members as critical neighbourhood infrastructure? How can we improve the design of school facilities and extend their use to enhance community connection, wellbeing and resilience?
In the next decade, to match population growth, Australia will build hundreds of new schools and extend existing ones – presenting a major opportunity to apply new knowledge about how the built environment can support stronger communities and better education.
This exhibition showcases the latest evidence and expert advice about developing and sustaining schools as community hubs.
