Mercedes College

Inspired by the rolling forms and exposed rock faces of the Kuarna Land the College is situated on, JPE Design Studio has delivered a game changer for Mercedes College. The new Arts & Sports Precinct offers a space that supports diverse learning experiences through arts and sports.

This perforated gymnasium ceiling is the first to feature Colorbond® Dover White™ as a perforated profile with continuous curves on both ends to seamlessly wrap the ceiling and walls into one.

Many projects start with this ambition however few projects with minimal flashings ever become realised as drawn because the challenges to install a curved perforated ceiling with no flashings requires meticulous attention to detail from Architect and Builder as well as the skills of an accomplished installer.

H.E. Sugars & Sons are a fourth generation Adelaide company who make the difficult seem easy and are renowned for their craftsmanship, Mercedes College is further testament to their accomplishments.
