Masterplan

Established in 1968, Marist College Canberra began with primary classes, as construction of the secondary school building was still underway. Over the years, the college has witnessed several expansions and refurbishments, breathing new life into the original structures.

In 2021, a significant milestone was achieved with the creation of our College Master Plan. This comprehensive blueprint sets forth our long-term vision and goals for the development of our campus. Designed to guide decision-making on infrastructure for the next two decades, the Master Plan strategically addresses the current and future needs of the college, while also identifying key areas that require renewal and enhancement.

To ensure seamless execution, the Master Plan has been divided into stages. Stage One was completed in early 2024.


Stage One - Veritas

Demolition works began in late 2022 on the site of the College's new Science and Performing Arts building. Work progressed quickly, and where the Pavilion and student changerooms once stood, an inspiring new three-story building - Veritas - now provides a new home for both the Science and Performing Arts Departments. Following 14 months of demolition, excavation, building, and fit-out, this incredible new building was blessed and opened in February 2024, on time and on budget. Veritas equips Marist with nine new state-of-the-art science laboratories, a suite of new performing arts classrooms, performance spaces, tuition rooms and practice areas, two new teaching spaces for health and physical education classes, and new changerooms - a testament to the College's commitment to ensuring our facilities are effective and inspiring places of learning.

​Stage Two

There is still much work to do. With Stage One complete, we now turn to Stage Two. The College Building Committee meets regularly, and we will update future plans as soon as we have them.
