The Bunya Building floats above a stone banked wall on this steeply sloping site. Overlooking playing courts and opening towards the old-growth tree canopy, it is a delightful place to learn.
Providing generous outdoor space along a large covered verandah, a variety of seating types and steps on the timber deck create unique places for students to play and learn. A curved pathway wraps from the building down to the sporting facilities, creating a visual and physical connection to the broader College campus.
The Bunya building characterises its name sake, the Bunya Bunya tree, a unique and majestic tree that overshadows its surrounds and historically has great significance to First Nations people. With the Bunya Bunya tree seen as a symbol of strength, nourishment and connection to the land, the Bunya Building emanates these qualities through the quiet, open spaces that connect the building and those in it back to the beautiful natural surrounds of the site.
