Jury citation
Adelaide Botanic High School offers an optimistic and progressive approach to the expansion of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning for high school students in South Australia. The school’s design by Cox Architecture and DesignInc gives a new spatial and organizational structure to teaching and learning, allowing students more agency in both their educational development and their social interactions.
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.
Adelaide Botanic High School is located in Adelaide, South Australia, and built on the land of the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains.
