A Multi-Faceted School Renovation
BoxMakers played a pivotal role in the transformation of the classrooms and toilets in Southern Cross Campus’s B Block. With a wealth of experience delivering quality joinery for schools, our expertise was indispensable to the welfare and usability of the new rooms.
For one of the newly reworked science rooms, BoxMakers installed a robust and versatile custom teaching unit, with materials carefully suited for long-lasting durability. It was a large cabinet with an integrated sliding whiteboard, featuring a wealth of concealable storage space. The whiteboard itself is a premium porcelain enamel piece by Polyvision, surrounded with Silver Pearl aluminium edges. Beneath the board surface, an accessory ledge is thoughtfully implemented to accommodate a range of teaching supplies, such as markers, erasers, and cloths. This slim cut benchtop uses Laminex’s Formica range, a high-pressure laminate that offers superior durability and performance.
Below the ledge is a wide array of cabinets, complete with locks to ensure secure storage. The cabinet carcass is made of 16mm MDF, while its aesthetics are supplemented with Classic Oak Naturale melamine from Laminex. This provides an organic appearance without the heft or maintenance of natural wood. The handles are Sylvan’s Norton series, in black. Their square bar profile is minimalist and to the point.
Our team also installed the hot water cylinder cupboard, which featured an MDF core with a white finish. We delivered this with Häfele hinges and built-in locks to ensure both security and ease of operation. A similar outfit was also performed for the data cabinet.
Smart Bathroom Partitioning
Our BoxMakers team was also crucial to the bathroom work, installing the toilet partitions. The cubicle walls were installed with Laminex’s Compact series, featuring calming wood patterns. Above, the headrail was an anodised silver aluminium. We also installed the locks, hinges, stoppers, and more. Stemming from our work, the bathrooms now feature durable, modern, and easy to use stalls.
This shows BoxMakers’ exceptional ability to install specification-adherent materials for specialised, high-use environments. It also demonstrates our versatility as not just kitchen professionals, but skilled installers of niche systems schoolwide and beyond.
