Project: Perth College Perth College’s student body required Australian made and designed steel lockers with custom indigenous inspired perforated door fronts to reflect the schools unique culture and identity. Perth College Located at 31 Lawley Cres, Mount Lawley, Perth College is a leading private Anglican school educating girls from Kindergarten to Year 12. Catering for day students and boarding from Year 7 to Year 12, the school required a locker solution suitable capable of supporting flexible needs. Currently home to approximately 1,000 students, Perth College is one of the oldest independent girls’ schools in Western Australia. The purpose-built facility provides spaces for encouraging creativity, imagination, social interaction and the development young minds. The Brief Perth College’s creative team specified Australian made and designed steel lockers to reflect the schools unique culture and identity. Planex was engaged to supply a customised locker system in a range of blue coloured powder coats featuring a custom Indigenous inspired perforated punch pattern designed by Parry and Rosenthal Architects. Steel lockers were specified for the senior school, located in foyers leading to multiple classrooms across two levels. Featuring flexible spaces that mirror universities and modern workplaces, the college utilises retractable walls to allow for collaborative learning and large groups to come together for speakers, meetings, exams and workshops.
