Adelaide High School Hive Building

Adelaide High School is a significant site in terms of the history of our state education, it’s location within the Park Lands and State Heritage listing. The original buildings were designed in 1940 and built in 1951, recognised nationally as significant modernist architecture. The challenge for the school has been to provide contemporary learning within this historic environment. The opportunity for the Hive Building was to create a new central hub for the school, forming not only a social destination for students, but also offering spaces that encourage different ways students can learn and interact. The first building on the campus to engage with the Park Lands, the Hive Building invites the landscape to become part of the everyday student learning experience.
