Creating a new home for STEM learning.
The College sought a contemporary STEM facility to support enrolment growth and strengthen its academic offering, with specialist laboratories, flexible learning spaces and strong connections to the wider campus.
The Hub includes marine science and biology laboratories with purpose-built aquatic tanks and vivaria, chemistry and technology labs, physics spaces and flexible teaching areas with views to Magnetic Island. It also accommodates the relocated academic hub, meeting rooms and tutorial spaces.
RCP worked with m3architecture and Hutchinson Builders to manage programme, procurement, sequencing and contract administration. The constrained inner-campus site required careful staging to maintain safe school operations while integrating new services, circulation routes and link bridges with existing facilities.
The completed Hub provides 11 new teaching and learning spaces, creating a future-focused environment for STEM education at St Patrick’s College.
