The Glennie School Science Centre

Kehoe Myers proudly undertook a multifaceted role in the development of The Glennie School Science Centre, delivering a comprehensive suite of Civil, Structural, and Hydraulic Engineering services. Designed to elevate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education to new heights, this state-of-the-art facility encompasses six cutting-edge science laboratories.

Our Civil Engineering team orchestrated a range of essential services to ensure the seamless integration of the Science Centre within its surroundings. This encompassed the design and implementation of retaining walls to optimise site utilisation, as well as the planning of stormwater drainage systems to manage water runoff effectively. Additionally, our expertise extended to the coordination of general siteworks, including earthworks, building platforms, vehicular access areas, and paved pedestrian zones, fostering a conducive environment for learning and exploration.

The Hydraulic Engineering team played a pivotal role in ensuring the functionality and sustainability of the Science Centre's infrastructure. Our team designed domestic water supply, encompassing both hot and cold water reticulation, to meet the demands of the modern educational facility. Furthermore, we implemented comprehensive fire water supply solutions to enhance safety measures, alongside sanitary plumbing and drainage systems, including trade waste management and connection provisions. Additionally, gas reticulation services were planned and executed to support the facility's operational needs efficiently.

Structural Engineering formed the backbone of the Science Centre's architectural integrity and resilience. Our team designed footings and ground slabs spanning Basement Floor Level and Ground floor level, ensuring optimal stability and load-bearing capacity. Reinforced concrete columns and load-bearing walls were strategically engineered to support the structure's weight and withstand environmental pressures. Furthermore, our expertise extended to the design and implementation of a sophisticated suspended concrete floor structure, as well as wall and roof framing solutions, to create a safe and functional learning environment for students and educators alike.

In collaboration with The Glennie School, Kehoe Myers has played a pivotal role in bringing the vision of the Science Centre to fruition, empowering future generations with the tools and resources needed to excel in the realms of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
