Education

We've been designing learning environments for more than 20 years, from primary and secondary schools to universities and TAFEs. We work closely with educators, students and their wider communities to create spaces where learning flourishes, taking the time to understand how your institution works day to day and how your approach to teaching and learning is evolving.

Our education work spans new builds, renovations and adaptive reuse of existing buildings. We're experienced with Catholic, independent and government schools, and tertiary institutions. We understand the specific requirements and funding processes that come with each.

Featured Education Projects

  • “Cotter Reid were an outstanding partner throughout the planning and schematic design process for our school’s upgrade and modernisation planning project. They genuinely listened to feedback from staff, students and stakeholders, and consistently acted on that feedback to refine and improve the design.”

    Cameron Black, Principal
    St Albans North Primary School

  • “The plans Cotter Reid developed are innovative, practical, and inspiring. We would highly recommend them to any school seeking a thoughtful and collaborative architectural partner.”

    Nicholas Keating, Principal
    Winchelsea Primary School

  • “What I admire most about Cotter Reid is the depth of thought they bring to their work. They do not look for the quickest solution; they look for the right one.”

    Colleen McCambridge, Principal
    St Margaret Mary’s Catholic Primary School

  • “From the very beginning … it was clear how deeply the Cotter Reid team listened to and understood what we needed for our children and our school community. The final buildings … will have a lasting, positive impact on our children, staff and families for many years to come.”

    Lindy Abernethy, Principal,
    Monash Special Developmental School

  • "Cotter Reid have been our College Architects for ten years. They take the time to understand our culture and financial capacity, and they go the extra mile to find solutions. The result: buildings that are creative, practical and on budget."

    Fr. Michael Twigg OMI
    Former Rector, Mazenod College
