A New School Shed for Highlands Christian College
The adaptability of a steel shed makes it an ideal multi-purpose solution for schools, colleges, universities and other educational institutions. We’ve built a number of school sheds around Toowoomba and beyond, and they’ve all proved useful additions to the school amenities, widely used by students and staff.
Our latest school shed project is at Highlands Christian College, a large and established institution with over 650 students.
We met with school staff members, established what they needed a shed for and put together a design based on their vision for its function and aesthetic. The result is a large garage skillion shed with a sizeable awning add-on, measuring 12m (w) x 18.28m (l) x 4.4m (h), with the awning measuring 6m (w) x 3.5m (h).
Our photographer caught up with our Toowoomba shed building team when they were busy building the shed. Have a look at this work in progress, and stay tuned for images of the finished project!
Fully Custom Shed
There are a lot of activities going on at a school, with a lot of different roles a shed could take on. Our shed designers worked closely with Highlands Christian College to ensure this shed would fulfil the exact purpose they needed it for. We build fully custom sheds at Stockman, with a flexible approach to everything from the dimensions to the windows and access points. The result here is a large, multifunctional space providing ample storage to keep important school gear and vehicles safe. It also offers a practical and secure space for daily activities.
Built for Durability
If we’ve learned anything so far this year, it’s that the Queensland weather is wild. You need a shed built tough… cyclone tough. This shed needed to be able to stand up to the daily wear and tear of school life, while having the core strength to get through extreme weather events.
It can, because it’s a Stockman! We use:
BlueScope Steel: The local steel tried and tested to last for generations in the Australian climate.
COLORBOND® Cladding: With 21 sublime colours to choose from, the roof and cladding can be matched to the surrounding landscapes and structures.
Large Shed, Big Part of School Life!
We love building big sheds here at Stockman. Need a sprawling school shed that can accommodate vehicles, machinery, learning gear, sports equipment and students? We got you.
There are multiple benefits to the additional extra space it provides:
Weather protection: A safe, covered space protected from the sun, wind and rain.
Organisation: Well-structured storage helping keep school grounds clutter-free.
Versatility: A multi-purpose area that can evolve to suit future needs.
Efficient and Professional Installation
We get our sheds up as quick as possible without compromising on quality. Our team are slick and professional, and in this instance caused minimum disruption to normal school activities. We’ve perfected streamlined processes with a strong focus on safety, and utilise efficient suppliers who ensure we have the right materials when we need them.
The Awning Add-On
We think the awning add-on is an exceptional idea for a number of reasons. For a start, it will enhance the look of the shed, giving it a polished and finished feel. It will add extra shelter and shade, providing covered and protected space for storage and activities. You can keep stuff here that doesn’t need to be fully locked away - it gives your shed that extra bit of versatility.
