(Villanova College is located at Coorparoo in Brisbane, Australia’s third-largest city. The school began in 1948 at Whinstanes in northern Brisbane, and has operated at its Coorparoo site since 1954.)
The St Thomas of Villanova Learning Centre, with outstanding views of the Brisbane skyline, has been designed for twenty-first-century learning. It adds six classrooms to the Senior Precinct of the College along with an auditorium, facilities for the Head of Senior School and Pastoral Leaders, a common area and spacious breakout areas for individual and group learning. Students experience a taste of tertiary culture while still in high school.
Levels One and Two of the St Thomas of Villanova Learning Centre constitute the new Junior School of the College. Twelve open-area classrooms with wide and varied breakout areas allow for cooperative teaching and learning. With new reception areas for parents and the needed facilities for staff, the Junior School is equipped for the years ahead. Undercover areas and immediate access to Whinstanes Oval contribute to the students experiencing “boy’s heaven” at Villanova.
