Bryant was the trusted delivery partner for all three stages of Newman Catholic College, Australia’s first Catholic secondary school co-located within a university campus. The staged masterplan transformed the campus into a modern educational precinct providing contemporary, flexible learning environments for the Diocese of Cairns.

Stage 1 delivered a four-level learning facility incorporating specialist teaching spaces, science and design technology laboratories, food science and drama facilities, collaborative learning areas, an indoor sports hall and a double-storey colonnade with open plaza. Stage 2 expanded the campus with a new multi-storey learning building featuring 15 General Learning Areas, specialist art facilities and flexible learning spaces, incorporating innovative precast and prefabricated structural systems to improve construction efficiency. Stage 3 completed the development with a new multi-storey accommodating administration, additional learning spaces and supporting facilities, seamlessly integrating with the existing campus.

Delivered within live university and school environments, the completed development provides a cohesive, future-focused education precinct supporting innovative teaching, collaborative learning and future enrolment growth, demonstrating Bryant’s capability in delivering complex, multi-stage education projects.
