St Aloysius College Altiora Campus

The project involved the demolition of the existing gymnasium and the construction of a new standalone Senior Years Campus, comprising six above-ground levels and an additional basement level. The seven-level facility was designed to provide a contemporary and engaging environment that responds to the evolving needs of the VCE curriculum and supports greater independence, collaboration and connection among senior students.

The new campus features:

– A welcoming foyer and reception space
– Collaborative learning and event areas
– A dedicated student hub supporting social and academic connection
– Flexible learning environments and general classrooms
– State-of-the-art science facilities
– Purpose-built administration and staff areas
– A rooftop terrace providing outdoor learning and recreational space

The redevelopment also incorporated landscaping around the site and upgraded roadway connections, improving traffic flow and enhancing the functionality and presentation of the broader campus.

Working within the constraints of an active inner-city school environment required careful planning, coordination and staging throughout construction. Despite the challenging site conditions and an ambitious 18-month delivery program, Building Engineering delivered the project on time, enabling the College to welcome students to their new Senior Years Campus for Term 3, 2026.

The Altiora Campus was officially opened in August 2026, marking an important milestone in the College’s history and the culmination of years of vision, planning and collaboration. Building Engineering was proud to join St Aloysius College, alongside project partners SEMZ and Hayball, to celebrate the opening and the collective effort that brought the College’s vision to life.
