About The Client

Wollondilly Anglican College is a co-educational independent school that serves students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12. The college is situated on a 95-acre campus in the Wollondilly Shire, catering to families from the Southern Highlands, Picton, Camden, and Campbelltown areas.

The Requirement

To create versatile outdoor spaces for learning, dining, and socialising, enhancing the school's outdoor facilities and encouraging recreational activities.

The Challenges

• Durability and Maintenance: Schools need products that can withstand heavy use and exposure to the elements. The tables should be made of durable materials like weather-resistant metal or treated wood to minimise wear and tear.
• Space and Placement: Schools must consider the available outdoor space and how the tables will be arranged to maximise utility without overcrowding. The placement should encourage social interaction while allowing for easy supervision by staff.
• Aesthetics and Design: The design should complement the school's environment and aesthetics, potentially matching existing outdoor furniture or landscape features.
• Weather Conditions: Depending on the local climate, schools need to consider weather resistance. The tables should be able to withstand various weather conditions like rain, wind, and sun exposure without degrading quickly.

The Solution

After evaluating the challenges and  requirements, Wollondilly Anglican College selected the  Liverpool 2-Sided Setting.

The  Liverpool 2-Sided Setting offers the following features:

• Durability and Quality: The Liverpool Setting is made from marine-grade aluminium with stainless steel fasteners, making it highly resistant to corrosion. This is especially beneficial for schools located near coastal areas where exposure to salt and moisture can be a concern.
• Versatility and Customisation: The Liverpool Setting offers options for different configurations, including four-sided square and rectangular settings, and covered two-sided settings. It also includes wheelchair-accessible options, making it versatile and inclusive for all students. Additionally, umbrella holes can be added for shade, making it suitable for various outdoor uses.
• Ease of Assembly: Its modular construction allows for easy on-site assembly, which is convenient for schools that need to quickly set up new outdoor areas.
• Australian Made: Being 100% Australian-made supports local manufacturing and ensures quality craftsmanship. This can be an appealing factor for schools wanting to invest in locally produced products. Aesthetics: The smooth black powder-coated finish gives it a modern look, while the variety of slat options, including wood grain finishes, allows schools to match the setting to their existing outdoor aesthetic.
