The Lumen Christi Primary School in Gippsland, Victoria was designed and
built for energy and water efficiency. In addition, the schools administrators
also wanted a tangible example of solar technologies that could be used for
student instruction. The result is a sleek and elegant reverse brick veneer,
broad-eaved structure with an array of Sun
Lizards and solar panels
on its northern side.
