The centre is the latest example of mature and respectful architecture within the Early learning industry. The physical environment is regarded as equal in importance to that of the educators role. A focus on the natural environment with plants, water, rocks, sand, dirt provide children an environment to explore, discover and enjoy.

Each space was a standout in design and functionality. With a joinery wall that separates what feels like an indoor space from outside, and has purposely been designed to store resources, display projects and accommodate children’s lockers. While the free flowing form of the design allows for connectivity throughout the centre for both children and educators.

The Ourimbah Education and Nursing Facility forms Stage 1 of the University of Newcastle’s Ourimbah Campus Master-plan. It accommodates a nursing simulation lab, computer teaching common, demonstration classrooms on the ground level, with tutorial spaces and offices on the upper level.

The design integrates a passive ventilation system throughout, while a high level clerestory provides lighting and ventilation to the upper level spaces. The palette of fabric materials is restricted to steel, aluminium, glass and concrete, all of which are recyclable, whilst the colours reflect the backdrop of the adjacent environmentally sensitive wildlife corridor.
