The project
McIldowie Partners designed the Sports and Aquatic Centre at Ivanhoe Grammar School, built by Building Engineering and completed in 2022. On a steep site along Ivanhoe's Boulevard, it manages a complex brief within strict planning controls and a sensitive residential and landscape setting.
Following a development plan approved in 2016, the building holds sports courts and a lap pool beneath long clerestory windows, behind a pale stone facade with a deep arched entrance that steps down the slope.
