Building Futures
Building Futures is the conceptual framework that guides all capital investment in government school infrastructure in Victoria.
Building Futures ensures that the educational needs of every student informs the planning and development of school infrastructure. It enables new facility design and the organisation of education services to better meet contemporary education needs.
The schools we design must:
- promote individualised learning
- create settings for innovative teaching
- incorporate new technology
- be environmentally sustainable, and
- support community involvement.
This website supports school communities seeking capital funding for school infrastructure and re-organisation.
