Located in Protea Glen, Soweto, this project is a new secondary school constructed for the Gauteng Department of Education. This was one of nine schools commissioned by the Department, the aim being to adjudicate various building systems and their advantages – and how these could create structures conducive to learning. The project capitalised on the key features of light steel frame building, namely: speed, thermal efficiency, acoustics and flexibility of design.
Our friends SMC once again brought us in to engineer the light steel framed solution for the project.
We were proud to be selected as the Mitek Industries South Africa Light Steel Framed Building category winner for this project at the 2019 SAISC Steel Awards.
