Cape Naturaliste College

Established in 2007, Cape Naturaliste College is located in Vasse, 240km southwest of Perth. Known for its natural beauty, tourism and wine industry, the area continues to attract local development.

Set on eight hectares, the college added a new 500 square metre learning block to the campus, as well as additional car parking, drop off areas, and realignment of an existing access road.

The project consists of a new single Storey Year 7 learning block which is located on vacant land at the northwest corner of the campus. Our project scope is structural, civil and geotechnical design and documentation.

Woolacotts worked closely with Hassell, the architects to ensure architectural design intents were achieved during the design phase. An example of this the design of a five metre cantilevered roof with downturn wall with a limited had a zone of only 150 mm in which to locate structural elements.

Poor weather was one of the major challenges during construction.

Woolacotts worked closely with the builder to solve unexpected site issues to ensure the project was delivered on time.
