Paynter Dixon has started building work on an exciting new educational facility catering for the academic needs of students at Norwest Christian College.

This follows 18-months of creative design development between College Executives and Paynter Dixon’s experienced architectural design team.

The two-storey atrium will include multiple open collaboration areas, eight classrooms (studios) and a 150-seat lecture theatre.

Paynter Dixon General Manager of Education, Community and Design Architect Matthew Greene said there will be a wealth of different learning spaces for students.

“The design is based on a contemporary learning model so there’s a number of open collaboration areas for the students to choose from,” Mr Greene said.

“After explicit classroom learning, students will come out onto a learning street (open learning space) which overlooks the atrium space.”

The project is due for completion in January next year.
