GROUND has been broken on a new multimillion-dollar, multi-discipline building at a Gold Coast private school.
The three-storey Innovation and Performing Arts Centre is due to begin construction on the grounds of the fast growing Gold Coast Christian College this month.
The centre is set to cost a total of $3.8 million in school, state and federal funding.
According to college Principal Guy Lawson the building combines creative thinking with engineering workspaces, allowing the disciplines to combine for a broad approach to problem solving.
The project is expected to be completed by mid 2020 and will even include a recording studio.
In development for over four years, the building will take 39 weeks to complete.

“Below there are general classrooms and an applied engineering space on the bottom floor.
“The reality is we are preparing kids for the world of the unknown and know they are going to have multiple careers in their lifetime.”
