Richmond High School

Positioning the new building so that the visual links and maintained between existing courtyards and the hall.
Minimising encroachment of the new building on the sporting fields and courts.
Acknowledging community emotional attachment to the existing bini shell.
Importance of regular community and after hours use of the hall for sporting and performance activities.
