History of our Binishells
Did you know our Binishells are over 50 years old? They were first built in Australia in 1974 and are the only examples of their specific design and configuration in the world. NSW’s collection of the 15 Binishells across 14 schools was the largest of its kind in the world.
Designed by Italian architect, Dante Bini who developed an innovative construction method that used compressed air to inflate a concrete dome from ground level. Here at Narrabeen, Bini incorporated a symbolic feature called the "Pearl of Knowledge" near the original library entrance, representing learning and discovery for students.
The domes are regarded as important examples of 1960s–70s architectural optimism, reflecting the era of the Space Race, Star Trek, and futuristic design. Many NSW Binishells are heritage-listed and our domes are currently undergoing a significant restoration.
