Project Highlights

Delivered works safely within a live school environment.

Alder delivered a new tuckshop and student engagement centre at Cleveland District State High School, enhancing student support facilities and day‑to‑day campus functionality within a compact, high‑traffic area.

The project involved the complete design and construction of a single‑storey facility comprising offices, a conference room, student kitchenette, first aid room and compliant amenities. Additional works included a covered outdoor link between buildings, new walkway connections, upgraded footpaths, and demolition and reconfiguration of the existing carpark, providing improved accessibility and circulation across the site.

Delivered within a tight footprint at the front of the school, the project required detailed coordination, strict traffic and pedestrian management, and careful sequencing to maintain a safe environment and minimise disruption to school operations. Challenges including asbestos removal, unknown services and lifting constraints were successfully managed through proactive planning and staging, with works programmed around school holidays and after‑hours periods to ensure continuity of teaching and learning activities.
