Victorian government school landscape
![Page 4: Victorian Schools Plan Innovative and Sustainable Schools Dr Peter Stewart General Manager Infrastructure Department of Education and Early Childhood Development,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514b99f550346d36e8b65c2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Victorian government school characteristics
• Most current school buildings were constructed quickly in 1950s to 1970s in response to a period of rapid population growth using lesser quality materials
• Victoria’s government schools comprise approximately 29,000 buildings with a depreciated replacement value of $4.3 billion and associated land value of $6.4 billion
• Current government school buildings provide approximately 7.2 million square metres of floor space of which 3.7 million square metres is in teaching spaces.

Two thirds of floor space
> 20 years old
Almost 50% of floor space was built between 1960 and 1984

• Post 1970s the level of investment in school buildings has not been sufficient to renew and maintain facilities to provide the type of environment needed to develop students’ learning potential.
• Recognising this legacy, and the need to address it, the Victorian Schools Plan committed to rebuild or renew all government schools by 2017
• The initial funding of $1.8 billion will more than double annual expenditure on school construction and rebuilding between 2007 and 2011

• Devolved system – schools have autonomy, but we view infrastructure from a regional and network perspective
• Investments linked to educational improvement plans
• Focus on best practice school design, but individual school solutions
• Capital works programs managed by DEECD as no public works department
• Using alternative delivery models e.g. public private partnerships, pilots for delivering maintenance services
• Raising the bar on environmental standards and community use
School infrastructure policy directions
![Page 8: Victorian Schools Plan Innovative and Sustainable Schools Dr Peter Stewart General Manager Infrastructure Department of Education and Early Childhood Development,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514b99f550346d36e8b65c2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
An integrated approach to sustainability
Invest wisely to meet today’s needs without compromising our children’s ability to meet the
community’s future needs …

Environmental sustainability
• Base ESD features mandated for all new buildings and review of innovative ESD features
• Modelling of building orientation to optimise designs
• Building management systems incorporated to reduce the load on heating and cooling systems
• High levels of insulation and use of high performance glazing
• Water harvesting and recycling for use in the building
![Page 10: Victorian Schools Plan Innovative and Sustainable Schools Dr Peter Stewart General Manager Infrastructure Department of Education and Early Childhood Development,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514b99f550346d36e8b65c2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Environmental sustainability• Night purging and use of automated louvres
• Buildings are supplied with sub metering, an outside weather sensor and an internal electronic display
• Students’ monitoring of efficiency of new buildings built into curriculum
• Integration with solar schools program
• School-level environmental policies and practices

Environmental sustainability

Economic sustainability
• Long term public investment strategy - plan schools to maximise use and minimise over entitlement
• Focus on networks of schools and not individual schools – sharing of resources
• Need contemporary buildings to maximise student outcomes
• Permanent facilities provided in accordance with long term enrolments, and relocatable buildings for enrolment growth
• Flexible spaces to suit traditional and innovative teaching practice
• Maximise operational life and minimise maintenance costs for schools
• More efficient planning and procurement processes
![Page 13: Victorian Schools Plan Innovative and Sustainable Schools Dr Peter Stewart General Manager Infrastructure Department of Education and Early Childhood Development,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514b99f550346d36e8b65c2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Social sustainability
• Responsiveness to community aspirations – locally initiated co-locations and mergers
• Major regeneration projects in disadvantaged areas with primary schools as community hubs for early years centres, family services
• Community use encouraged in all schools
• New designs offer community meeting spaces / access
• Agreements with local government for long term joint use of facilities
![Page 14: Victorian Schools Plan Innovative and Sustainable Schools Dr Peter Stewart General Manager Infrastructure Department of Education and Early Childhood Development,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514b99f550346d36e8b65c2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Many schools in rural Victoria were established as single teacher or small country schools – their buildings are now outmoded and/or functionally obsolete
• The Rural School Replacement Program was established to provide permanent replacement facilities at 40 rural schools across Victoria with long-term enrolments between 50 to 150 students.
The proving ground: rural replacement program

Lessons: rural school replacement program
Innovative designs are suitable for traditional rural schools Templated designs can offer significant benefits for our schools Standardised buildings can be designed for low tech construction
in remote areas Environmentally sustainable features are important for all schools Design for community use of rural schools is important as they
are community hubs
![Page 21: Victorian Schools Plan Innovative and Sustainable Schools Dr Peter Stewart General Manager Infrastructure Department of Education and Early Childhood Development,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514b99f550346d36e8b65c2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The refreshed approach due to the Economic Stimulus Plan (ESP)
• The rural replacement program was rolling out successfully and then the ESP was announced
• Rolling out 1400 projects using the traditional approach was not feasible
• Templates were mandated for the ESP but DEECD only had templates for rural primary schools
• A series of 34 templates were developed for primary and specialist schools
• A standard specification was developed for these templates
• Adopted the design principles from the rural replacement program
• Compressed consultative period required new communications approaches

Key lessons
Design template innovation should be linked to a change management strategy
A network approach can be successful outcome for the system The sustainability constraint can be used to generate excellent
outcomes for schools
