In 2011 Canstruct was awarded a Building Education Revolution contract for the Federal Government to build a new multi-purpose hall for the Payne Road State School in Brisbane. A rigorous design phase has resulted in a visually stunning design inspired by a collaboration of architects from the school community and Canstruct’s design team. The hall is mostly for theatrical performances but also has Olympic specified flooring for indoor sports. It has a number of performance features including - an operable stage which can be configured differently for Choir or Orchestral events. There are also acoustically isolated rooms for music practice and warm-ups. A high level of Parents and Citizen’s involvement ensured the students needs were met and exceeded.

Canstruct also built – a covered Outdoor Learning Area; a breezeway for an existing teaching block; a combined tennis/netball court; groundsman’s room; Bike rack and a new carparking facility for the school. Approximately 100 employees and contractors worked on this job.

“Canstruct have not only provided us with a magnificent building which is the pride of our school community but have been a pleasure to work with, especially during the construction phase. Thanks guys for your patience and co-operation, in not only giving us a purpose built facility, but for your desire to help make our school so much better for kids.”

"Canstruct really did work closely with the Parents and Citizens Association of Payne Road State School to build an outstanding BER Project that exceeds the needs of the staff and students."
