The new learning commons at Kardinia International College

was created to provide a learning environment for the 21st Century.

The buildings are about learning now and flexibility for the future.

The concept of a stand-alone library was revisited to include Information Technology

,Arts, Library, resources, classrooms meeting rooms and media teachers all integrated.

The building allows for the accommodation of 2000 students to visit the buildings throughout the day

to connect with the world and share learning practices, principles and social media interaction.

This is within flexible or purpose made spaces offering choice.

The building form is simple yet complex incorporating two stand-alone building connected by a floating

metallic ribbon which relates the building while offering clerestory light internally and external covered learning

spaces externally.

The building entices students and teachers alike to try to determine what do we really know about our home,

the world.
