Our Projects: Creative Arts and Design Centre at St. Mary’s Anglican Girls School
At Office Line, we are proud to have contributed to the new Creative Arts and Design Centre at St. Mary’s Anglican Girls School, a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to nurturing the creative potential of senior students. This three-storey building stands as a testament to St. Mary’s commitment to the arts, providing an innovative and inspiring environment where students can explore and develop their artistic talents.
The Creative Arts and Design Centre comprises specialised areas, including collaborative spaces, galleries, studios, and a modern media centre. Here, students are encouraged to express themselves and work together across disciplines such as visual arts, ceramics, design, 3D construction, fashion, textiles, and wearable art. Each area has been designed to facilitate hands-on learning and creative collaboration.
To ensure that each space met St. Mary’s educational needs, we provided functional, durable, and adaptable furniture solutions. Aligned with the school’s commitment to sustainability, St. Mary’s decided to repurpose and enhance some existing furniture pieces. Office Line integrated these products seamlessly into the final design, supporting an approach that respects the environment.
Some of the selected products include:
- EN Gas Lift Chairs: Ergonomically designed and crafted with high-quality materials, these black-based chairs are ideal for extended work sessions, offering students both comfort and versatility.
- Height-Adjustable Tables: Fitted with a preset controller and available in white or oak finishes, these tables allow students and teachers to adjust their workspaces as needed, promoting both ergonomics and movement.
- Teacher's Pod: Providing a mobile storage solution and teaching hub in one
- Round Eduflex Ottomans and Floor Cushions with Rosie Paine Aboriginal Prints.
This new centre will not only host rotating exhibitions of students’ work but will also serve as a hub of inspiration and creativity for the entire St. Mary’s community. Galleries and studios allow students to showcase their artwork, while interactions with guest artists enrich their experiences and offer professional insights.
The sustainable approach of repurposing existing furniture highlights our shared commitment to the environment and social responsibility. This decision not only helps reduce environmental impact but also adds a meaningful dimension to the educational experience, demonstrating to students the importance of sustainable practices.
