A modern learning space built to perform.
Kilvington Grammar School’s Hive STEM & Library Centre showcases Spectrum’s Contract Rubber flooring in a high-performance education space.
Specifying flooring for education, healthcare, and public buildings requires materials that withstand constant use while supporting comfort, acoustics, and design integrity. Spectrum’s Grain Rubber flooring delivers durability, safety, and acoustic comfort — making it a trusted solution for demanding architectural environments.
Designed by ClarkeHopkinsClarke Architects, The Hive is a contemporary STEM and library facility built to support collaborative and technology-driven learning.
To elevate the performance requirements of these flexible spaces, Spectrum’s Grain Rubber Flooring was installed on Level 2, home to Digital Technology, Robotics and Media learning environments. The resilient flooring delivers durability, acoustic comfort and underfoot support in busy student areas.
The project received industry recognition, winning the New Building/s or Facilities – Small and the Overall Winner award at LEA Victoria and Tasmania Chapter 2025 Awards.
