State-of-the-art learning spaces set to open within months

SAINT Ignatius College’s latest building project is well under way, with students looking forward to accessing the completed Year 9 and Multi-Purpose Centres mid-year.

Construction is taking place on vacant land in the south-east corner of the Drysdale campus, with the project set to provide students with quality facilities that will significantly enhance their learning environment.

It will also represent a strong visual statement about the College’s presence as an outstanding faith and academic community.

The new Multipurpose Centre will enable students and staff to meet together again as a community under the one roof.

After many years of classes in relocatable rooms, future Year 9 students can look forward to learning in state-of-the-art, purpose-designed learning spaces comparable to all other student Centres of the College.

The Victorian State Government has generously provided $2 million for the Multi-Purpose Centre, while the Commonwealth Government has provided an equally generous $2.1 million for the Year 9 Centre.

The Year 9 Centre will comprise 10 classrooms, break-out spaces, teacher offices and toilets, while the Multipurpose Centre will boast two indoor basketball courts, seating (for up to 1500), fitness room, PE lab, foyer, offices, toilets/showers and storage.

Saint Ignatius College will host an Open Day on Sunday March 24 between 11am and 2pm. At this time, staff and students will proudly showcase the myriad of opportunities provided by their College to develop men and women of competence, conscience and compassion.
