Concordia College’s new Nautilus Centre provides an immersive STEAM-based learning environment in which Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics come together. Designed to make learning visible, it addresses the main school quadrangle and the school’s northern street frontage.
Large sliding glass door panels, collaborative shared learning areas, serviced flexible learning areas and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor learning spaces combine to encourage inter-disciplinary learning and collaboration. This is supported by sophisticated AV systems displaying and sharing information.
Wonder, inquiry, discovery and innovation are reflected not just in new learning opportunities, but in the fabric of the building itself. The new facility demonstrates mathematical, scientific and artistic principles through the use of items such as the Fibonacci series, a Foucault pendulum displaying the earth’s rotation in the main stairwell, a sky kaleidoscope, rooftop classroom, and various sculptural exhibits built into the indoor and outdoor learning environment.
