Jabiru Community College - Relocation & Place Visioning

The Challenge
Jabiru Community College (JCC), Bracken Ridge needs to find a new site to establish its campus. Dr Phillip Daffara facilliated co-design and visioning workshops with students and staff to develop JCC's "Place Vision". The Place vision aims to guide the JCC community and leadership team through its relocation process by informing the Architectural Design Brief and Site Selection Criteria.

The Design Approach

• Participatory design and futures thinking sessions with users to establish the place vision and project brief;
• Develop land selection criteria as a tool to guide the land search and assess sites.

The Results
Clear design qualities and strategies to reflect the place vision and values of the JCC community and a development roadmap to guide the campus relocation process.
As a result a site was found within several months with ongoing negotiations to secure a State Government lease.  The realisation of JCC's place vision will require the conversion of a 1980s government warehouse into diverse learning spaces.
