construido por Charlie Fulton en 1939. La nueva biblioteca mejora la relacin entre los
sitios de la escuela, ofreciendo nuevos espacios para actividades grupales y aulas para la
enseanza. El proyecto incluye la remodelacin de 7 aulas y varias dependencias del
antiguo edificio.
PorMarcelo Gardinetti
Una fachada curvada de cristal es el nexo entre dos volmenes de ladrillo que contiene las
salas de apoyo. El vuelo del edificio sobre los volmenes crea una imagen dinmica,contraponiendo texturas y colores de sus materiales componentes, acero y madera.
El diseo repite materiales usados en el edificio existente, generando a la vez un
contraste en su expresin moderna y abierta, interactuando con el entorno inmediato
mejorando la relacin de los espacios exteriores del conjunto y dialogando en la
intensidad de los colores utilizados.

MEMORIA DE LOS AUTORES
The Mt Sion Library demonstrates a bright and friendly response to the site surroundings by
utilising vibrant colours throughout the building. As part of the Nudgee Junior College master
plan, Mt Sion is an addition to the existing focal point of the college campus the original,
modernist brick building, constructed in 1939 based on a design by Charlie Fulton. The new
library provides vital connections along the ridgeline by enhancing the sites relationship and
new exciting learning and play spaces.
Mt Sion Library was conceived as two solid brick boxes, containing supporting rooms, with
the library as a transparent volume connecting to the brick boxes, with a curved glass
facade. The transparency of the library connects the classrooms through to the river. Formal
and textural qualities have been abstracted from the Original Building connecting the brick
bays with the curved volume. The butterfly roofs sailing over the faceted glass walls creates
a dynamic mixture of steel and timber battening which is grounded by the rich brick boxes oneither side. Rich red brick with a lustrous blue/grey brick banding is used for the two main
wings of the new building.
The library has responded to the clients brief, coming from quite traditional school values
and spatial planning. The new building responded to these traditional needs whilst
maintaining flexibility within the library and connections to play spaces on each side. The
consultant team worked closely to create a cost effective and efficient solution whilst

achieving a quite complex structural solution, as well as a number of sustainable design
principles humbly incorporated throughout the project (rainwater tanks, bio-retention, solar
hot water, low e-glass and a building management system).
A high quality outcome has been produced within the budget constraints, with a high level of
finish and large extent of works achieved. Mt Sion pays respect to the original forms andmaterials of the existing building while providing a measured contrast of a modern, open and
light-hearted expression. The forms, material and colours used intend to reiterate the
original from Charles Fultons modernist brick building, while providing a modern playful
twist.Fulton Trotter Architects
