AIA National Jury Citation
The building operates as a dynamic matrix of public movement and respite; dedicated workspaces and flexible classrooms; intimate, group and large teaching rooms; and an openness and airiness that exploits the vertical structure.
COX are proud to see this project celebrated at such a prestigious national level, and that the state-of-the-art vertical school joins a host of other educational facilities celebrated at the awards. We extend our congratulations to DesignInc Adelaide and all other collaborating teams.
Adelaide Botanic High School is located in Adelaide, South Australia, and built on the land of the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains.
