Background
Through their strategic planning process, the Association of Independent Schools (AIS) had prioritised the redevelopment of Level 12 of their York St premises, which had a hybrid function as a workspace and professional development hub for members.
Of particular importance was that the professional learning delivered onsite would be consistent with the contemporary learning environments aspired to by member schools. AIS started to engage with Amicus via conversations with Head of Workplace Strategy Steve Collis, who had previously worked extensively with schools to connect pedagogy to learning environments in his Director role at 'Sydney Centre for Innovation in Learning' at Northern Beaches Christian School. As
AIS were introduced to the broader Amicus design and technology teams, their confidence grew that Amicus understood and could deliver on their vision: to create a space that was in equal parts functional, inspiring, and flexible. Infused with rich, seamless technology. The new environment needed to bring the physical and virtual together for staff, members, and an array of visitors.
