Aspect Hunter SchoolBasketball Court

Complete court redevelopment in a live school environment

The completed basketball court at Aspect Hunter School - deep blue surface, white line marking and a covered structure over the full playing area
Project overview

A rebuild, not a resurface

Aspect Hunter School needed its basketball court rebuilt. The brief called for a new concrete base, a covered structure over the playing area, a hoop set up to a proper competition standard, edge protection around the perimeter, and a floor finish with genuine visual impact rather than a plain grey slab.

All of it had to be delivered while the school remained open and operating.

Our approach

Sequenced around a working school

New concrete base

The brief called for a rebuild rather than a resurface, so the court starts from a new slab rather than a patched one.

  • Preparation of the court area ahead of the pour
  • New concrete base laid across the full playing area
  • A level, durable platform for the coating and line marking that follow

Covered structure

  • New covered structure installed over the full playing area
  • All-weather use through the school year, and shade through summer
  • Erected over a live campus with the court area sequenced and segregated

Court finish and line marking

  • Colour base court coating in deep blue rather than a plain grey slab
  • Full white line marking set out to Australian Standards
  • Engineered, pro-spec hoop installed to a proper competition standard

Safety and edge protection

  • Edge protection fitted around the court perimeter
  • Work zones staged and segregated from student areas
  • Ongoing coordination with school staff around the daily routine
Live environment delivery

Built while the school stayed open

The works were staged around the school calendar and day-to-day operations, keeping the site safe and functional throughout construction.

Coordinating a concrete pour, a structural build and finishing trades on an active campus for students on the autism spectrum meant sequencing work carefully and keeping disruption to routine as low as possible.

The result

A purpose-built facility the school owns

  • A covered, all-weather structure over a new concrete base
  • A competition-standard hoop set up for genuine play
  • Edge protection around the perimeter for student safety
  • A deep blue playing surface with crisp white line marking to Australian Standards
  • A facility the school owns outright, built to be used every day for years to come

A second project delivered for Aspect Hunter School, on the same campus and to the same standard: coordinated trades, student safety ahead of programme, and an asset built to last.
