St Kevin's Kearney West

St Kevin's Kearney West

The J. A. Kearney extension represents the fifth step in our 2007 master plan to accommodate the expanding curriculum of St Kevin’s College by creating a transitional environment towards tertiary studies.

This building is the third development in the Heyington Campus master plan and consists of four levels. This distinctive architectural statement comprises a state-of-the-art design and technology facility, a study centre, and six science laboratories.

The building forms steps and twists to manage the transition from 2 stories to the existing 5-storey shear wall. A dark-coloured, ventilated screen cloaks the building to reduce heat load and is designed to minimise reflection and contrast within the natural river environment.
This sculpted termination links back to the crafted nature of the activities undertaken within the design technology centre. The terraced building form also provides additional rooftop space which is utilised as an outdoor learning area for the student centre.
