Stage one of The Gunung-Willam-Balluk Learning Centre is a multidisciplinary learning centre, designed to accommodate the numerous activities of the students. The design for the building was developed in close consultation with the local indigenous communities, and the Tafe management. It was requested that the building forms express something of the local Wurundjeri Culture, which can be seen in the eagle like form of the roof, and to celebrate water, canoes, as these are river people. Rain water free-falls from the large beak spout onto rocks, and inverted-canoe skylights cast pool patterns under the entrance canopy. The building opens out on to landscaped gathering spaces in the north, and a public park in the south.
