Mid-rise

The Our Lady of the Assumption School in North Strathfield utilises an existing three-storey concrete frame base built over 30 years ago. The extension includes 4 levels of CLT and glulam post and beam structure.

Hines’ first initiative in Melbourne, this development represents an exciting sign of the times for timber construction. With two massive timber offices already built in the US and several more slated to start in the coming years, the Hines T3 strategy (Timber, Transit and Technology) replaces structural systems such as concrete and steel with prefabricated solid wood systems, to create best-in-class projects in a fast, clean, sustainable and aesthetically pleasing manner.
