The growing demand for training facilities in Wyndham in 2010 lead to the extension of the existing workshop facilities at Wyndham TAFE. The facility needed to grow to respond to the growth in commercial activity in the community.
Pritchard Francis were the structural engineer for the extension which included; two new classrooms and toilet facilities. Due to the remoteness of the construction site, Pritchard Francis designed the classrooms as transportable buildings constructed to an almost complete state prior to making the journey to Wyndham.
