As education environments continue to evolve, technology integration has become central to the design of modern learning spaces. For AVRUS, the New Schools Bundle B program presented an opportunity to deliver advanced audiovisual and communication systems designed to enhance teaching outcomes and support long-term operational performance.

Working alongside Hutchinson Builders, AVRUS provided a comprehensive technology package across multiple schools. “We provided the public addressing systems, in-classroom teaching systems, hearing augmentation, and the large-format LED screens for the gymnasiums and presentation systems,” said Shaun Foo, Managing Director.

Originally specified with projectors and projector screens, the gymnasium systems were redesigned by AVRUS under the design-and-construct process to deliver a more durable and future-focused outcome.

“We thought projectors wouldn’t be the best long-term result for teachers and schools,” Shaun explained. “So we redesigned the solution to include LED walls, which provide better serviceability and longevity.”

In addition to LED wall installations, AVRUS worked to ensure public address systems were fully integrated into the Victorian School Building Authority network, allowing remote monitoring and improved safety outcomes. “That was a big push for us,” Shaun explained. “If a PA system goes down, the department knows immediately, and that’s ultimately about safety for the students.”

The project required careful co-ordination, with multiple schools under construction at the same time, with rapid delivery programs, managing resources across several active sites demanded precision. “The buildings were going up at the same time, so we had to manage our workforce to cover multiple sites,” Shaun said. “Last year [2025] we delivered eight schools, so it was a busy period.”

With more than 25 schools delivered across Victoria in recent years, AVRUS continues to build a strong presence in the education sector. “We’re always looking for the best outcome for the client,” Shaun said. “We thank Hutchinson Builders for the collaboration throughout this project. We’re extremely proud of what our teams delivered together across the three schools”
