MLC Nicholas Learning Centre Shortlisted for 2020 Victorian Architecture Awards

We are pleased to announce that the MLC Nicholas Learning Centre has been shortlisted for Educational Architecture in the 2020 Victorian Architecture Awards.

Arising from the demolition of two cramped wings of the previous Nicholas building, the new Centre provides four levels of learning spaces, a level each for Years 7 and 8, both with 10 learning spaces or home rooms. A shared innovative learning zone at the top of the building flows into the popular roof-garden for outdoor learning and administration facilities are located the building’s base to welcome parents and visitors.

Situated between MLC traditional primary and secondary schools the new building brings together previously separated Years 7 & 8 to create of a school within a school, that aims to balance access into the new heart of the campus, the Principals Terrace, with wellbeing and best practice learning that places students at the centre of the learning environment.
