Newman Catholic College, Australia

Serving the continuing growth of Cairns’ Northern beaches, Newman Catholic Secondary College will be hosted on James Cook University’s Smithfield Campus with a proposed opening in 2022.

This school, set to be the first Catholic secondary school on a university campus in Australia, will be a vertical college built over four levels. Facilities will include a Multipurpose Hall on the second level and a rooftop science precinct. A pedestrian concourse on the first level will open into a large vertical commons overlooking the nearby rainforest and Atika Creek with a strong programme in music and drama.

The first stage will incorporate a Multipurpose Hall with stage holding 1300. A music and drama studio will open out onto a 200 seat tiered seating stair that rises through the central commons.

TPG Architects was engaged to provide full service.
