Latrobe Street Wing Extension
It is with great excitement that we share with you a flythrough of our new extension.
The Latrobe Street Wing Extension will link the Administration Building to the Jubilee Building. Designed by Williams Ross Architects, the build is being managed by Newpol Construction. Construction has now begun and it is anticipated that the project will be complete by mid-2023.
On the ground floor, purposefully designed spaces will house Learning Diversity and the Counselling service. These new facilities will provide more space and connection with the existing buildings. The second and third levels will comprise a mix of classroom and open learning spaces that will be suitable for multiple uses and encourage collaborative learning and teaching.
New landscaping will transform the garden area to the south of the extension and the current Learning Diversity House will be demolished to make room for our Indigenous Garden, additional recreation space and replacement carparks.
Enjoy our flythrough
