Today, we’re celebrating both: Harmony Day, International Women’s Day.
Harmony Day is all about celebrating our cultural diversity and promoting inclusiveness. It’s about appreciating the different backgrounds, traditions, and beliefs that make us who we are. It promotes respect and the idea that people of all different cultures can make a valuable contribution.
Similarly International Women’s Day celebrate and promotes  womens unique contributions to the world. It aims to break stereotypes and smash barriers which stifle an even playing field for genders. Each year internationals womens day have a theme this year it is inspire inclusion. So it fits nicely with the Harmony day theme, diversity and inclusiveness, hence why we are celebrating together. 
Diversity and inclusion recognises and respects the value of different perspectives and experiences. Diversity enriches our lives, broadens our horizons, and makes the world a more interesting place to be.
PMDL is a unique workplace we have a rich variety of cultural background as well as a female top heavy leadership. We have 2/5 directors, 1/2 principals and 5/9 female Associates. Compared to Australian wide data we are smashing barriers!!!

The William Clarke College masterplan and Bryson Building proposal have received State Significant Development Application determination of consent!
PMDL embarked on a masterplan process for the Kellyville campus back in 2017, which involved an in-depth review of the school’s facilities and facilitating comprehensive consultations with various school user groups. The outcome of the masterplan clearly points to a new STEAM facility, resulting in the delivery of the first major new facility on-site in recent years—the Branwhite Centre, completed in 2020.
Years later, PMDL again worked closely with the College and the project team to re-examine and refine the masterplan against an updated strategic vision. The outcome formed the basis of the State Significant Development submission.
The proposal includes the detailed design of a new 5-storey teaching and learning facility, a new activated and dynamic performing arts precinct, a fit-for-purpose multipurpose pavilion, and major improvements to on-site traffic, circulation, and site landscape.
We are proud contributors to be a part of delivering a considered, tailored masterplan and proposed staged development at the campus and excited to embark on the next phase of project delivery.
 
 
We acknowledge the Dahrug people as the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which William Clarke College stands. We wish to pay our respects to their Elders, past, present, and emerging.

In light of Geelong Design Week, McGlashan Everist has a legacy of producing public works throughout greater Geelong. From the Deakin Woolstores, to the Carousel and even the Potato Shed venue, McGlashan Everist created works over their long history that have become icons for Geelong and continue to be influential in our designs as PMDL MEA today.

At first floor of the Star of the Sea Heritage Wing the convent cells, occupied as individual staff offices, were demolished creating flexible learning and gathering spaces for senior students with visible clusters of staff adjacent sharing access to the original veranda. A sanctuary space links the Chapel and provides a place for student reflection.
 
A new entrance and Chapel connection enabled new amenities, hospitality and staff dining in the earliest building on the site. External accretions were removed to create a sunny new outdoor learning and gathering space shared by staff and students.

The New Learning Building is a stand-alone addition to Mentone Park Primary School, comprising four connected learning
spaces, each with external access to natural outdoor learning areas, clustered around a central collaboration zone.

This first stage of an endorsed masterplan sets the stage for are development and reinvigoration of a growing school, redefining their identity in relation to site history, design with respect for Country and First Nations culture, and the School's vision for modern collaborative learning.
