STEM Learning Hub
Designed to inspire and empower generations of young women in North Queensland, the STEM Learning Hub building project marks the conclusion of Stage 2 of the College's Master Plan. Expertly designed by m3architecture and constructed by well-renowned Hutchinson Builders, this building provides Marine Science, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Technology labs, along with contemporary general learning spaces and an arts courtyard. "We're proud to deliver this incredible facility that connects old and new for students to thrive" says Principal, Amber Hauff.
Contemporary learning spaces
Our state-of-the-art East Precinct, designed by award-winning firm, m3architecture, opened in 2020 and overlooks The Strand where the College was first established in 1878. Featuring functional and unique learning spaces, the three-storey building boasts cutting-edge technology and innovation, designed to promote curiosity, creativity and collaboration.
