Spantech began working with a number of schools in 2009 to design facilities under the Building the Education Revolution (BER) stimulus package funded by the Australian Government.

Within twelve months Spantech had designed and constructed:

• 3 Covered Outdoor Learning Areas (COLAs)
• 6 Single Basketball Court Covers
• 2 Double Basketball court Covers
• 2 Multipurpose Halls (with a single basketball court court, canteen and amenities)
• 1 Multipurpose Halls (with a single basketball court court, canteen, amenities and duel purpose stage/classroom)
• 3 Multipurpose Halls (with double basketball courts and stage)

All projects were delivered on schedule and within budget.

All of the multipurpose halls, sports court shade structures and covered outdoor learning areas (COLAs) feature the distinctive distinctive Spantech curved roofing system.

With this unique construction system suited to wide span buildings, a track record of successful education projects and a range of design options for schools, Spantech was well placed to help schools get the most from their allocated funding. All the schools that Spantech has worked with have been extremely happy with the excellent value for money and speedy completion of their projects.

Spantech continues to work with Architects and schools to design projects which qualify for funding under the BER guidelines, based on Spantech's successful designs:

• Multipurpose Halls - indoor sport, assembly halls, etc
• Gymnasiums - dedicated training centres
• Indoor sporting centres - covered basketball and/or netball courts
• Assembly areas - general covered areas
• Covered outdoor learning areas - also known as COLAs

Spantech's in-house design team helped Architects meet the strict deadlines for BER projects and provide the engineering solutions which maximised the efficiencies of the Spantech System.
