Scotch College Dickinson Centre

A state-of-the-art multipurpose auditorium at the heart of the senior campus.  The concrete roof deck of a 1980s Physical Education Centre is transformed into a vibrant and contemporary learning environment with a focus on the performing and visual arts.

At a maximum capacity of 1100 people, the facility holds weekly assemblies for the entire student body, staff and parents.  This format also accommodates exams, valedictory dinners, balls and speech nights.  The centre also operates as the college's performing arts venue, hosting large musical productions as well as being reconfigured into a 400-seat venue for more initmate performances.

The project received the Public Architecture Award by the Australian Institute of Architects, Western Australian Chapter in 2008.
