The continual growth and demand for additional resources meant Barker College required a greater number of versatile spaces that could accommodate the school's changing needs. Barker College engaged Black Diamond to transform an underutilised space on Phipps Field with 8 variable sized classrooms ready for the commencement of the 2022 school year.
The variable-sized classrooms were to be a space that the students would take pride in. The area also had to be suitable for Senior Management and delivered before December 2021.
Whilst Black Diamond is reputable for our quality and fast turnaround times, we faced the added hurdle of overcoming delays caused by the pandemic and adhering to new client and government protocols.
However, Black Diamond’s commitment to the project goals and timelines never wavered, and the project was complete on time, ready for the 2022 school commencement.

With a sound knowledge of Barker College’s needs and a strong understanding of compliance requirements, Black Diamond delivered a customised solution and provided brand new classrooms larger than traditional. We also constructed a central veranda to provide a controlled, covered travel pathway for students commuting between buildings.
The classrooms were also made to be BCA compliant and energy efficient, which will benefit the College for years to come. Black Diamond’s ability to deliver solutions on time and with minimal onsite disruption enabled Barker College to commence the 2022 school year without delay or disruption to the students’ education.
