This new Performing Arts Centre located at Gasworks Arts Park creates a state-of-the art performance precinct for students that can be shared with the wider community. Named APC VCASS, which stands for Albert Park College and Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School, it’s the third project we’ve undertaken for Albert Park College (in partnership with VSBA).

Demand for places at APC and VCASS continues to grow. This facility will provide a dedicated theatre with adequate seating and purpose-built rehearsal space to support the schools’ high-calibre dance, music and theatre programs.

The design responds to the heritage character of the existing Gasworks precinct and its neighbouring ornate brick buildings, while adopting a contemporary architectural language that reflects the forward-looking vision of the schools to nurture our next generation of artistic talent.
