Catholic Regional College Melton, Cobblebank Campus, will be a significant new comprehensive Catholic Secondary School for 1500 students. The Stage 1 will cater to the initial cohort of 600 Students and is on track to be opened for the 2023 school year. The first stage of Catholic Regional College Cobblebank consists of a year 7-9 facility and the first half of a Specialist Science, Music, and Drama building. These new buildings will begin to shape the cloistered space at the heart of the Master Plan. A dramatic double-height volume creates a collaborative zone at the centre of the year 7-9 facility. Located on the plains to the west of Melbourne, these buildings will read strongly against the horizon. We drew inspiration from famed Australian artist Jeffrey Smart’s compositions of bold block colours on flat landscapes as a method to give the individual buildings a distinct identity.
