Model Farm High School Lift Accessibility Works
Client: School Infrastructure NSW – Western
Status: Completed
Contract: MW21 D&C
Consultants: Meares Consulting
The project involved constructing two new lift shafts, an accessibility bathroom, and significant ramps. One ramp spanned from the first floor to the ground floor, while the other was a U-shaped ramp suspended between two buildings. The new accessibility bathroom featured a motorised hoist lifter, a motorised height-adjustable change table, and full wheelchair accessible facilities. Despite challenges posed by the site’s central proximity within the school, including limited access for machinery, the project was successfully completed with manual labor. Throughout the construction, all buildings remained operational, demonstrating effective project management and coordination.
