About the project

We helped build Australia's first not-for-profit workplace early childhood education and care service.

The new FROEBEL Carlton Early Learning Centre is a sustainable, multi-level, engineered timber building.

It provides employees and students of the University of Melbourne, and employees of the university's innovation precinct 'Melbourne Connect', with kindergarten and childcare. Additional capacity will be available to the wider community.

This project, designed by Silvester Fuller Architects, won 'Best Kindergarten or Early Learning Centre' at the 2022 Victorian School Design Awards.

Funding

In Round 2 of the 2020–21 Building Blocks Capacity Grants $1 million was allocated to the project.
