Melba College
Stage 1
Location: Wurundjeri | Croydon, Victoria Sector: Education Project Value: $16.5M Completion: 2018
Melba Secondary College instils a sense of connectedness and pride in students and their surrounding community. Embodying the College’s values, the design focuses on the community green, a space envisaged as both a social and learning environment.
This design creates a valued space for the College community to come together and enhances opportunities for learning that extend well beyond the traditional classroom.
The first stage of works delivered three double-storey buildings, providing a Junior and Senior Village and a central administration hub that frames a main entry point for visitors and functions as the social and administrative heart of the campus.
Each of the student villages is arranged around a central learning street, providing a circulation and breakout spine with adjacent class-sized spaces, staff areas and ancillary spaces.
