Westfield Sports High School

Upgrading learning environments for a high-performance future

Client: NSW Department of Education – Schools Infrastructure
Location: Fairfield West, NSW / Dharug Country

The challenge

Westfield Sports High School is one of New South Wales’ leading sports-specialist public high schools, with a growing student population and the need for upgraded facilities to match modern learning standards. The challenge was to deliver flexible, future-ready infrastructure that could support technical learning, without disrupting school operations during construction.

Our Approach

Lucid was engaged by Schools Infrastructure NSW as part of a collaborative team including Mode Design and Hindmarsh. We led the design and documentation of all building services for the new three-storey building, known as Building S, as well as site services upgrades and temporary teaching facilities.

We took a pragmatic, whole-of-campus view — ensuring our engineering strategy supported the school’s educational mission while integrating seamlessly with existing infrastructure. Careful staging and coordination minimised disruption, ensuring the school remained fully operational throughout construction.

Solutions delivered

Lucid provided comprehensive design services across the entire project scope:

  • New Three-Storey Building (Building S) – Supporting up to 460 students with 23 flexible, technical learning spaces and associated staff facilities
  • Site Infrastructure Upgrades – Ensuring service resilience across power, water, and communications
  • Specialist Systems Integration – Design of audio-visual, communications, security, and specialist lighting to support a modern learning experience
  • Vertical Transportation – Incorporating accessible, user-friendly lift systems into the new building
  • Temporary Teaching Facilities – Supporting continuity of learning during construction
  • Construction Collaboration – Worked closely with the builder and architect to deliver a smooth handover within a live school environment

Outcomes

  • A flexible, high-performance teaching facility tailored to the school’s specialist curriculum
  • Seamless delivery with no disruption to the existing campus
  • Upgraded infrastructure to support long-term growth and operational efficiency
  • A safer, smarter learning environment with integrated technology and systems

Better World Impact

Education infrastructure shapes more than buildings — it shapes futures. Lucid’s work at Westfield Sports High shows how thoughtful engineering can elevate learning outcomes, support specialist programs, and create better environments for students and staff alike.
