Description

The project aims to build a new multipurpose building, the Yakanarra Multipurpose Art Space (Yak-MAS Building), to revive the school's strong artistic traditions. This building will be a hub for education and creativity, accommodating activities ranging from reading and computer literacy to art production and musical expression. Expected to be used by students and community members throughout the day and potentially during evening functions, the Yak-MAS Building will be a versatile space fostering learning, creativity, and community engagement
The new building will complement the existing structures, providing a seamless integration with the environment and the community's daily life. The project will contribute to the community's resilience against climate-related challenges and provide job opportunities during and after its construction.

Students and staff from the BBMDESIGN LAB [and consulting registered architects - Deepti and Christian Wetjen] will work alongside METIO to develop the concept proposal. Students will be working mentored by the BBMLAB team and architects, through the WIL - Work Integrated Learning umbrella. The concept proposal will be submitted to the Association of Independent school of Western Australia for assessment and grant approval.
