Standard Hub Layout
Gymnasium + Canteen
Secondary School (Small/Stream 6)
- The gymnasium and canteen facilities are consolidated within a single hub, due to their favourable intersection of uses.
- The size of the main hall area allows for functional use as a full size basketball court, at 28m x 15m plus 2m run-off on all sides.
- Covered outdoor space (also referred to as COLA) is a desirable addition to the hub, and with the addition of large sectional overhead doors, it provides:
- the opportunity to ‘spill out’ during whole of school assemblies and other large events that are held in the hall;
- weather protected outdoor play area; and
- covered area over the canteen servery.
- The gymnasium should have secure access outside of school hours from the school’s main entry and/or car park to allow for secure community use.
- The canteen kitchenette provides servery windows than open into the main hall area, as well as out into the covered outdoor space. A suitable route for deliveries to the canteen should be considered.
- Bulk, garden & cleaning stores have been integrated into the hub. These store areas require access from the perimeter of the hall and suitable access routes provided to ensure heavy and bulky items can be easily maneuvered in and out.
Important note on gymnasiums
Whilst the primary purpose of the gymnasium in a high school is to provide an indoor sports facility, the gymnasium is often also used for whole of school events such as assemblies, performances and HSC exams. This is an important consideration for the design and location of the gymnasium.
The gymnasium is also often utilised by the wider community outside of school hours for sports and other events. It is important that secure access is provided to ensure the safety of users and the asset after hours.
