Windsor Inner North Secondary School

Windsor Inner North Secondary School

Fire engineering for a staged school development, enabling compliant, cost-efficient life safety solutions while maintaining design flexibility.

Project Overview

The Windsor Inner North Secondary School is a staged education development designed to accommodate growing enrolment demand. The project includes a Class 9b secondary school delivered across four stages, with Stage 1 comprising a five-storey learning facility (Building A) and a three-storey car park (Building B) with a rooftop sports court. The design brings together education, circulation, and recreational functions within a compact urban site. E-LAB is supporting the project to deliver compliant, efficient fire engineering outcomes while maintaining design intent and functionality.

Project Value

Our Approach

  • Fire engineering input during concept design to identify risks and opportunities early
    ‍
  • Preparation of Fire Engineering Brief and Fire Engineering Report
    ‍
  • Development of performance-based solutions to address design constraints
    ‍
  • Ongoing coordination with project team and attendance at key design meetings

‍

Outcome

  • Removal and rationalisation of selected FRL requirements across key building elements
    ‍
  • Improved design efficiency through reduced vertical separation and simplified layouts
    ‍
  • Flexible circulation enabled through non-fire-isolated stair connections
    ‍
  • Extended travel distances justified through performance-based design
    ‍
  • Reduced fire system scope, including omission of hose reels and partial sprinklers
    ‍
  • EV charging risks addressed within overall fire strategy
    ‍
  • Lower construction cost while maintaining compliant, robust life safety outcomes
