For their first Design task the students are challenged to rethink and redesign the library space and reimagine what it could be turned into. Some ideas include youth clubs, music spaces and sporting hubs.

The amazing staff at the library were very welcoming and the girls were able to engage with the local community about the needs of an adolescent target market and the services they believe would better service the local area. We were able to see the original architectural plans of the site from 1991 and learn about more sustainable architectural practices.

Students will showcase their concepts through a scaled 3D model using a combination of traditional architectural model making techniques as well as utilise the advances of clean technologies such as laser cutting and 3D printing available at our College. 

It was wonderful to observe and note the already expanding services Campbelltown library offers its community and we were fortunate to learn all about its well kept archives and history.
