Designed around principles of student-centred, independent learning, the Senior Learning Centre establishes an open and adaptable environment that supports students as they transition beyond the final years of high school.
Flexible and transparent learning spaces are integrated with seminar rooms and shared common areas, accommodating a range of individual and collective learning modes. The facility includes a 260-seat lecture theatre and a large circular conference room, enabling both formal instruction and collaborative engagement across year groups.
Environmental performance is embedded within the building’s design, incorporating energy-efficient strategies such as natural ventilation, mixed-mode air conditioning with smart controls, rainwater collection and reuse, and the use of thermally efficient materials.
The project forms part of a broader, long-term evolution of the campus, contributing to a cohesive collection of significant new and refurbished learning environments that support high-quality education across the K–12 spectrum.
Our two-decade collaboration with Pymble encompasses several significant new and refurbished facilities, alongside an ongoing commitment to the stewardship of this outstanding campus. We are proud to have contributed to high-quality learning environments for Pymble girls across the K–12 spectrum. Key projects include the Conde Library, Gillian Moore Centre for Performing Arts, Kate Mason Senior Centre, and the Centenary Precinct Aquatic and Fitness Centre.
“This building has been designed using research from around the world and in consultation with our senior school teaches to produce a purpose built facility for the unique stage of senior school learning.”
