The three-storey build, which replaced the former Music, Art & Drama facility, now houses the College’s general reception, staff offices, conference rooms, and boardrooms. Across its three levels, specialised learning areas for disciplines such as Food Science & Technology, Music, and Art have been incorporated, featuring state-of-the-art facilities, such as recording studios.
Student-centred breakout zones are distributed through the facility, offering alternative spaces for collaborative and innovative learning. Additionally, students' artwork can be showcased in the centralised multi-purpose gallery and collaboration space, which extends beyond the art studios on the first floor. Voids have been integrated throughout the design, creating a seamless connection between the levels as users ascend the building. Notably, the project also features a two-storey amphitheatre with tiered seating.
Rammed earth walls were utilised—a natural material that not only provides a distinctive architectural feature but also delivers various construction benefits, giving this cutting-edge facility a unique point of difference.
