Marrickville High School Cola

A school in Marrickville NSW, NSW, needed a large cover for an outdoor learning and performance area.

The Brief

Deliver a compliant COLA to support outdoor learning and performance activities.
The structure needed to accommodate a tiered seating and stage area, while providing reliable weather protection and clear visibility for students and staff.

Our Innovative Solution

TechSpan partnered with the school to develop a solution aligned to both performance use and everyday learning.

We designed, engineered and manufactured a curved roof COLA with increased frame height to accommodate tiered seating and an enclosed stage area. This ensures clear sightlines, functional performance space, and flexibility for a range of school activities.

The structure provides consistent weather protection while maintaining an open, usable environment suited to assemblies, performances and daily use.

The result is a durable, fit-for-purpose COLA that meets Department of Education requirements and supports a broader range of school activities.
