Hornsby TAFE Project: High-Compliance, Rapid-Deployment Temporary Teaching Facility.


The North Sydney Institute of TAFE required a custom-built, temporary teaching facility that met strict compliance and operational needs while being delivered within a short timeframe and tight budget. Australian Temporary Structures was tasked with designing and installing a modular educational facility that adhered to the Building Code of Australia's ‘High-Class Building’ regulations and satisfied the needs of multiple stakeholders.


This project presented unique challenges, including compliance with strict building codes, minimal site impact, and rapid deployment, all while maintaining functionality and a professional learning environment.
