The Queensland Academy for Creative Industries is located at Queensland University of Technology, Kelvin Grove.

Medland Metropolis undertook design and documentation of mechanical, electrical, fire and hydraulics services for this seven level building which represents Education Queensland’s commitment to cutting edge development in the performing arts and media technologies.

The layout and design of this high school combined all of the typical spaces found in the common state high schools with specialist state-of-the-art facilities.

With the environment in mind, and taking into consideration that the project brief was to create a “school for the future”, the design team developed a common goal of creating a building that was sustainable, functional and cost effective.
