A transparent skin reveals a hive of learning.   

With two new hospitals opening up in Bendigo, a state-of-the-art training facility was needed to support the region’s growing health industry. Our objective was to create a vibrant, community-focused, centre of excellence for Bendigo TAFE that would help to generate a skilled local workforce and attract quality educators.   

“Our vision was to transform the campus into an active, vibrant place that prioritises the learner and creates an open and welcoming street interface for the Bendigo community.”

Utilising biophilic design principals, the contemporary glass façade and new entrances have opened up the campus to the community, providing a transparent, engaging interface with the street that celebrates the activity and learning within, and provides an abundance of natural light to aid productivity and wellbeing for students and teachers.
