“They have created a set of beautiful, durable, permanent buildings that will stand the test of time, and welcome and inspire generations of students, staff and parents” “The buildings… needed to reflect the core Christian qualities that the College holds dear – values of simplicity, honesty, care and generosity” “The use of materials which combine limestone with timber accents has created not only a functional building, but one that lifts the whole community” Functionality grounded in nature meets graceful design in the cluster of new buildings at Seton Catholic College in Samson. The Mother Seton Centre is just that – the “mother” of the campus, housing a new administration block, state-of-the-art classrooms, staff amenities and a staffroom – the whole forming an elegant new entrance to the existing College. Designed by Parry and Rosenthal Architects and built by Sanpro Construction, the $6.3 million project, completed in April, sets the tone for the entire campus – exemplifying Seton’s philosophy that “every interaction matters”.
