Xavier Catholic College is a combined primary and secondary school master planned to allow for design and construction in stages to cater for the Hervey Bay region’s burgeoning population. Commencing construction in 2002 and opening the following year, the college now boasts state of the art facilities for some 1000 students and once completed will support a population of 1300 students and staff.
BLOC Design has been involved in the entire development process and has designed the site and buildings in consultation with the client, Brisbane Catholic Education, to meet strict state and federal government funding guidelines at the same time as maximising the return on the their investment with modern, flexible, yet economical facilities. The school’s staff plays an important role in developing each stage’s brief and our nearby office has been instrumental in providing an affordable and effective service to ensure that the completed product meets their needs now and into the future.
