Thomastown Kindergarten

Centrum Architects were engaged in 2018 to undertake the design, documentation and contract administration for a new Kindergarten sited on a part of Thomastown Primary School.

The new kindergarten provides a state-of-the-art facilities for 66 children designed around mature spotted gums trees featuring:

• large licensed foyer,
• over-sized rooms,
• multi-purpose teaching/observation room,
• ample external play space designed by Jeavons Landscape
• 4-star Greenstar design

The design takes inspiration from Thomastown’s migrant history, starting with German dairy farmers and more recently with a diverse ethnic community – all of us arriving by either sea or sky. The building’s base recalls the boat, the middle – the sky and the roof – the aeroplane.
