Brisbane Boys' College - Campus

Campus

BBC's campus is located in the Brisbane suburb of Toowong on land bordered by Moggill Road, Kensington Terrace and Miskin Street, with the main entrance from Kensington Terrace.

The main building dates from the 1930s, when the school moved to the site, and is characterised by its Mediterranean arches and clock tower. The Rudd and Hamilton wings form a T-shape, extending away from the main building, and the modern glass fronted library fills the quadrant. Other buildings on the site include McKenzie wing, Barbara Helen Thomson Sports Complex, Birtles wing and the Junior School buildings. The old College Hall was demolished in late September 2009 and a brand new College Hall was constructed and opened in early June 2011. The new College Hall includes an airconditioned auditorium capable of seating 695 people, an art gallery, and new facilities for the music department.

In early 2008, construction of the modernised Junior School buildings was completed. The building houses the Prep - Grade 3 students as well as the Grade 4 and 5 students; the Prep - Grade 3 grades themselves were only introduced in 2007. There are three ovals included within the BBC grounds: Main, P&F and Miskin. BBC also makes use of the Oakman Park ovals, Toowong College (QASMT), University of Queensland and St Lucia, Queensland playing fields. The school plans to build new sporting facilities in a location detached from the main school, possibly in Corinda, though this has sparked local residents' concerns about traffic problems and noise pollution.
