Brisbane Q2 Newsletter
As the school year settles into rhythm and the holidays begin, we reflect on the learning environments shaping the next generation. At COX, we design education spaces that inspire curiosity, foster connection, and create a strong sense of place.
From early learning to tertiary education, our recent work spans all stages of the learning journey, from early learning to higher education. Projects such as OakTree Academy, Richlands Early Learning Centre, St Andrew’s Anglican College, Notre Dame College, and Griffith University represent just a few of our latest contributions—each responding to the evolving needs of students, educators, and communities.
As schools adapt to contemporary challenges, we continue exploring how design can enhance student wellbeing—whether through vertical schools responding to urban growth or inclusive environments that support all learners. Our work prioritises flexibility, identity, and belonging, ensuring students feel engaged and empowered in the spaces where they learn.
COX has long believed that great education facilities are defined by the strength of their communities. Beyond classrooms, schools and campuses must be places where students want to learn, collaborate, and connect. Looking ahead, we remain committed to designing for the future of education—one that embraces innovation, diversity, and a sense of place.
Thank you for your continued support—we look forward to sharing more with you throughout the year.
