Caloundra Christian College has opened a major new facility designed to give students the tools and space to problem-solve and create in ways that prepare them for the future.

The Design Precinct combines a range of disciplines including industrial and digital technology, the arts, fashion and design, music and drama in purpose-built collaborative spaces.

Developed in partnership with McLellan Bush Architects and Insite Construction, the precinct is centred on design thinking principles, encouraging students from Prep to Year 12 to invent and develop solutions to real-world challenges.

It features a mix of maker spaces, creative studios and performance areas.
