ARCHITECTURE

VACPSP SPONSOR

B2 Architecture

Specialising in education architecture, B2’s collaborative approach and understanding of pedagogy allows schools to create unique, contemporary learning environments that help their community to think better, learn better, do better and be better.

Over the last 25 years the practice has successfully completed more than 500 projects, including many primary and secondary catholic, independent and government school building projects.

As one of the few architectural practices to embrace modular construction, we help schools take advantage of the benefits of modular building, including reduced time on site, without compromising design or architecture.

Our deep appreciation for the intrinsic link between environment and pedagogy allows us to design world class, contemporary learning environments where students, staff and school communities thrive. While our consultative and collaborative ensures that each building project meets the school’s needs and works to enhance the individual school’s community, culture and environment.

For assistance preparing your school’s Master Plan, or planning and preparing for capital works, contact B2’s Managing Director, Brent Tullio.
