Planex

Kapunda High School Reinstatement Project

Planex’s xLocker2 system was specified by Grieve Gillett Architects for the Kapunda High School reinstatement and restoration project, forming part of a new learning building within the broader restoration of the 1876 State Heritage-listed Eringa House precinct. The project follows the loss of nearby heritage classrooms to fire in 2022 and represents a sensitive response to both heritage and contemporary educational requirements.

Planex has supported Kapunda High School across multiple stages of redevelopment and growth, delivering a consistent locker solution that adapts to evolving teaching models and agile learning environments. The xLocker2 system was selected for its flexibility, durability and ability to respond to varied spatial and functional needs within the school context.

In this stage of the project, lockers are located within circulation corridors and finished in a Pale Eucalypt powder coat, allowing them to integrate seamlessly with the architectural palette of the learning spaces. The colour references the surrounding landscape and the sandstone tones of Eringa House, while the inclusion of First Nations Buunhu perforation by adds cultural significance and visual texture to the joinery elements.
