Construction of our new Mercy Learning Centre (a 2200sqm three-storey building) is well under way. Demolition of the old buildings took place in Semester 1, the construction phase began in Semester 2 and last week the concrete pour for the second level was completed.
The building will bring together the library, lounges and seminar areas in a single community gathering place for our senior students. It will support the sharing of student ideas outside the classroom, complementing the shift toward collaborative media and team efforts. The core strength of this model is in the relationships it supports, including student-to-student, student-to-staff, student-to-faculty, student-to-equipment or student-to-information.
The Mercy Learning Centre project is Stage 1 of our current Master Plan (for which the College obtained a $2 million capital grant from the State Government in October last year) and is on track for completion in Semester 2, 2019.
