Argall

St Peters College

The St Peter’s college upgrade provides the school with a new admin building to serve its growing needs. The multi story building will serve staff with increased office spaces and improved reception facilities, while ensuring an aesthetically pleasing experience for visitors.
The project utilized a combination of structural steel for the roof and cold-formed steel sections to reduce costs. The first floor consisted of a composite steel framed Bondek floor, providing strength and stability. On the ground floor, a stiffened raft slab was used, with certain areas featuring suspended slabs. The design also included a first-floor courtyard that featured a putting green and a tower structure, with a striking flame sculpture positioned above it.

The roof structure was specifically designed to provide support and stability for the hulls within the atrium foyer. Additionally, the structural design was carefully planned to ensure that it remains concealed within the hit-miss patterned wing walls of the atrium foyer.

ANDREW GALL, Director

Argall was founded in 2017 by Andrew Gall, an engineer with a passion for complex design and breaking the mould. His work experience as a senior structural engineer across a variety of project disciplines made him realise there was a real need for a bespoke people and service-oriented structural engineering consultancy that would inspire sustainability practices and innovation often lacking in big companies.

This is over and above his experience in traditional procurement roles, his work with builders in the design and construct field, managing projects in sport, tertiary education, the arts and zoological fields, as well as community, commercial, residential and multi- residential enterprises. With such a wealth of knowledge and understanding of different design methodologies, he has the expertise to challenge the status quo in his new venture.
