Inner City High Rise Schools
In 2017 the Queensland Government announced plans to build two new inner city schools in Brisbane.
The new schools are the first inner city schools built since 1963 and have been developed in partnership with Brisbane’s top universities. The two new schools were planned and delivered as vertical schools, the first time such a model has been adopted in Queensland. The developments comprise:
A new state secondary school at the former Fortitude Valley State School site in partnership with Queensland University of Technology
A new high school in the inner-south working with the University of Queensland to take enrolment pressure off Brisbane State High School
P2P provided the Department of Education with strategic and program advice, incorporating the use of Enquiry by Design workshops, to rapidly progress the briefing and design of both schools in order to meet the government’s committed Term 1 opening dates.
