Damascus College sought to create a dedicated senior learning facility that would provide students in Years 10–12 with an environment designed for growth, independence, and collaboration. The vision was a precinct that not only supports academic excellence but also reflects the College’s values of community, connection, and sustainability.

The Project

The Senior Learning Precinct was developed as part of Damascus College’s long-term masterplan to reimagine senior education spaces. It features flexible classrooms, breakout zones, specialist study areas, and modern amenities that prepare students for tertiary education and beyond.

Builder communications highlight the focus on natural light, sustainable design practices, and a strong integration between indoor and outdoor learning environments. The project also incorporated accessibility compliance and tactile guidance systems for safe, inclusive use of the space.

DTAC Products Specified

To support compliance with accessibility standde0ards and ensure a safe environment for all students and staff, a range of DTAC solutions were specified:

  • DE0630C: Carpet System Corduroy Hard Natural Anodised (3.2m)

  • DE0690B: Edge Urban 58x5mm 2.5m Hard Black Anodised

  • DT0120: Ecotac Tactile Spike Stainless

  • DT0122: Ecotac PVD Black Tactile Spike Stainless

These products provide both durability and aesthetic integration with the modern architectural design of the Precinct.

Outcome

The new Senior Learning Precinct has elevated the Damascus College campus by:

  • Creating a landmark facility that celebrates student learning.

  • Embedding universal design and compliance into the heart of the project.

  • Delivering robust, high-performance DTAC systems that support both functionality and design vision.

The result is a vibrant, future-focused facility that reflects Damascus College’s commitment to excellence in education and community.
