The STEAM Precinct is a transformational educational facility with uniquely flexible classrooms surrounding a central collective 'incubator' for learning. Suspended weightless study pods, resembling petri dishes, encourage creative thinking and prioritise interconnected learning and challenge the curious mindset. The circular motifs, repeated throughout, become symbols around focus, infinity, unity, and universe. The interior becomes a theatre of demonstrable learning. Not just a building, the facility reflects a whole of school approach pedagogically, physically & culturally.
