架构师提供的文本描述。温德姆中央学院(WyndhamCentralCollege)是一个变革性的成功故事，从一所成绩不佳、没有社区意识或自豪感的学校，到如今充满活力和联系的校园。坐落在澳大利亚威瑞比-学院进行了品牌重塑，将这所由政府管理的中学变成了更像墨尔本私立学院之一的学校。这所学校的复兴，从校服到校名，到建筑和景观，都没有留下丝毫的影响。

Text description provided by the architects. Wyndham Central College is a transformational success story, going from an underachieving School with no sense of community or pride to the vibrant and connected campus it is today. Located in Werribee, Australia – the College has undergone a rebranding exercise that has turned this government-run secondary school into something more akin to one of Melbourne’s privately run colleges. The revitalisation left no part of the school untouched, from the uniform, to the name to the physical buildings and landscape.

2012年之前，温德姆中央学院(Wyndham Central College)，当时名为加尔文公园中学(Galvin Park School)，是一所受过创伤的学校。许多建筑遭受了严重的暴风雨破坏，不得不关闭，导致学生需要在校外上课。2010年，对温德姆学院的一次扩展诊断评估描绘了一幅糟糕的学生学习成果、参与和途径的图片。教职员士气低落，社区观感差，学校成绩不佳，在官立学校中占十分之十。

Before 2012, Wyndham Central College, then called Galvin Park Secondary, was a school in trauma.  Many of the buildings suffered severe storm damage and had to be closed, resulting in the need to bus students off-site for classes.  In 2010 an Extended Diagnostic Review of the College painted a picture of poor student learning outcomes, engagement and pathways, low staff morale and poor community perception.  The school was underachieving, in the 10th percentile of government schools. 

品牌建筑师于2012年年中被任命。为了开始参与过程，他们带领员工参观了其他领先的维多利亚学校。学院社区发现这是一个美妙的开端，因为它赋予了员工明确他们的目标和对他们新的学习空间的渴望的能力。

Brand Architects were appointed in mid-2012.  To begin the engagement process they took staff on guided visits to other leading Victorian schools.  The College community found this a fantastic beginning as it empowered staff to articulate their goals and aspirations for their new learning spaces.

学院的教育愿景是，在政府提供的固定预算范围内，努力重塑整个校园的品牌。新的覆层材料、旧棕色砖块上的光彩照人，使70年代旧建筑的外墙更加鲜艳。现有的建筑都是钢框架的，有混凝土楼板，使它们得以被剥离，空间被重新设计，以适应现代课程的要求。通过再利用、循环利用和改造，使该项目的体现能保持在较低水平。

It was the College’s educational vision to endeavour to rebrand the entire campus within the fixed budget provided by the government.  New cladding materials, render over the old brown bricks and splashes of colour freshened the facades of the old 1970’s buildings.  Existing buildings were steel-framed with concrete floor slabs, enabling them to be stripped and spaces repurposed to suit a modern curriculum. Through reusing, recycling and adapting, the embodied energy of this project was kept low.

翻新后的大楼现在已经认不出来了，它们长长的黑暗走廊，天花板很低，现在变成了光线充足的协作学习区，把教学空间和小团体学习的角落连接在一起。旧图书馆被改造成了一个新的表演艺术礼堂，音乐中心-艺术现在成了学院招生的一张主要的借记卡。(鼓掌)

The refurbished buildings are now unrecognisable, their long, dark corridors with low ceilings have been eliminated and are now light-filled collaborative learning areas linking together teaching spaces and nooks for small group learning.  The old library was converted into a new Performing Arts Auditorium and Music Centre – arts is now a major drawcard for enrolments at the College.

虽然该项目的大部分重点是翻修，但建造了两座全新的建筑物。在学院最显眼的角落，新的行政大楼为学院提供了一个欢迎的新面孔，体育馆有专门的举重室，非常受学生欢迎。

Although most of the project focused on refurbishment, two entirely new buildings were constructed. At the most prominent corner of the College the new Administration building provides a welcoming fresh face for the College, and the Gymnasium, with its dedicated weights room, is very popular with the students.

由于拆除了校园中心的几座建筑物，新建了露天圆形剧场，种植了带有凸起的木板路的林地，创建了新的景观区。这成为了学校的新“心脏”，整个学校社区都可以聚集起来，进行户外集会、露天学习和学生娱乐活动。

New landscaped areas were created by the demolition of several buildings at the centre of campus, creating a new open air amphitheatre and planted woodland with raised boardwalk.  This became the new ‘heart’ to the school, a space that the whole school community can gather for outdoor assemblies, open-air learning and student recreation.

温德姆中央学院(Wyndham Central College)现在是维多利亚州完成VCE成绩最优秀的学校之一，在过去5年里增长了10%。学生参与度的变化反映在数据集的强大和旷课率极低的水平上。学生们知道自己的教育经历受到重视，因而对自己的学校有强烈的自豪感。他们的学习需求正在得到满足。

Truly a success story, Wyndham Central College is now one of the most improved schools in the state of Victoria for VCE completion, up 10% in the last 5 years.  The change in student engagement is reflected in the strong data sets and extremely low levels of absenteeism.  Students feel a strong sense of pride in their school, knowing that their education experience is valued, and that their learning needs are being met.

产品描述：在景观和建筑上使用欧姆尼釉油漆表面，有助于给学校的建筑下一个新的定义。使用明亮和大胆的颜色，如蓝色，红色和黄色，目的是重振学校的面貌，并将整个地区以一种连贯的方式联系在一起。画的表面继承了学校周围建筑中所表达的建筑语言。

Product Description. The use of Omniglaze painted surface on the landscape and the buildings has been instrumental in giving a new definition to the architecture of the school. The use of bright and bold colours such as blue, red and yellow aim to reinvigorate the look of the school and ties the whole precinct together in one coherent manner. The painted surface carries forward the architectural language expressed in the buildings around the school.
