Education Central I 2013

Education Central is the new front door to the James Cook University campus in Townsville. The design approach follows a student-led / staff-assisted methodology developed specifically for JCU. Based on the latest retail service models, students have a choice of service points where staff move around the space providing help as needed. The building also contains large-scale active learning spaces and social learning areas, encouraging peer-to-peer learning and extended learning beyond the traditional classroom environment.
