Collingwood Park Secondary School (QLD)

Project Overview

Sometimes it’s the quiet achievers that do the heavy lifting. At this large-scale fit-out designed by Lifestyle Interiors and delivered by Badge Construction, the brief called for simplicity, acoustic performance and reliability across an expansive 6,000m² footprint.

Enter the ever-dependable mineral fibre acoustic tile. Paired with a 24mm exposed T-Bar suspension grid, this ceiling system delivered the clean lines and consistent finish the team were after - while also punching above its weight with an NRC of 0.70.

It’s the kind of ceiling that fades into the background (in the best way possible), allowing the space to shine while handling sound with ease. Functional, effective, and quietly confident—just the way we like it.

In an education setting, where focus and clarity are paramount, controlling reverberation is more than a design choice, it’s essential. With dozens of students in a single space, the ability to absorb and minimise background noise directly supports better learning outcomes, concentration, and wellbeing. The NRC 0.70 rating ensured sound was kept in check, creating a calm and considered acoustic environment throughout.

From a logistical perspective, the scale of the installation demanded careful coordination. Large volumes of material were delivered in staged drops and installed efficiently by the contracting team, keeping pace with the broader construction timeline. All ceilings were completed on schedule, supporting key project milestones without compromise.
