m3architecture are true architectural innovators with a capacity to acknowledge heritage, yet be faithful to functional requirements and contemporary practice
Dr Amanda Bell AM Former Principal Brisbane Girls Grammar School
What Brisbane Girls Grammar has created with the construction of the new Research Learning Centre is a unique opportunity in its 140 year history for the innovative and cutting-edge to complement the traditional and the familiar. The facility with its staircase journeys and seamless integration of library spaces and classrooms, of books and technology, will become that special place where learners can reflect, contemplate, discover, explore, and create on their own or with others. It is a beautiful and dynamic building that not only incorporates the knowledge of ages past but also welcomes purposeful connection with the twenty-first century outside world.
Mrs Kristine Cooke, Director of Information Services
The firm balances a high level vision and commitment to aesthetic ideals with essential functionality to create buildings that deliver excellence in education and are an inspiration to both staff and students.
Jacinda Euler Principal
The integration of teaching and library in apparently complex but ingeniously simple interconnecting double height volumes has resulted in an intriguing, therefore irresistible learning environment for girls. In a tough procurement process conceptual rigour delivers calm, finely detailed spaces that reference tradition and context while enabling innovation.
