Saint Teresa of Kolkata | Lyons

The Saint Teresa of Kolkata building at ACU is a new, state–of–the–art vertical campus, located on the periphery of Melbourne’s CBD. The design encourages cross–facility use with flexible internal and external spaces designed for recreation, socialisation, teaching and learning. The design also responds to the needs of students, teachers, and researchers, prioritising flexibility to support the University’s long–term needs.

Spanning 13 levels, the building features an abundance of informal and formal learning spaces, including an urban amphitheatre designed for lectures and student gatherings. The building also includes upgraded student amenities, including green spaces, terraces, and a rooftop multi–sports court. The new building seamlessly integrates into the historically significant Mary Glowrey Building, blending old and new to shape a distinct character for the ACU St Patrick’s Campus.
