OLSH College Convent Redevelopment

Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College
Bentleigh VIC, in Bunurong country
2017
$4.4m contract value

The existing 1930’s Convent and Chapel has been given a new lease on life with increased connection to the students and OLSH community through incorporation of the main college administration and the new gathering spaces.  

The restored Convent comprises staff administration, visitor and student reception, along with staff social and workspaces. An extension provides a new Gathering Space, a social heart for the College to support the existing Chapel and provide a special place for events in the College. The student canteen has also been relocated to the rear of the extension, providing an opportunity for parents and students to use the space throughout the day and enjoy the newly landscaped Aussie Gardens.
