We oversee the design and construction of new schools and early childhood centres, as well as upgrading existing ones.
About us
We design, build and modernise schools and kindergartens. The Victorian Government is doing this on a scale not seen since free education was introduced in the 1870s. The Victorian School Building Authority is part of the Department of Education. Since 2016, we have managed this education construction boom. Our work will help every Victorian child have a great local school that prepares them to thrive in the 21st century. The Victorian Government has invested more than $12.8 billion for our building projects as part of its Education State reforms. We have opened 82 new primary and secondary schools since 2017. We have also been busy with more than 1,850 other projects that upgrade or expand existing schools − improving conditions and creating new learning opportunities for students. As well as reforming schools, we are transforming neighbourhoods. Our projects give schools new gyms and ovals, rooms for health services, theatres and other resources they can share with their wider communities after hours and on weekends. We are also helping the Victorian Government reform early learning. Working with the sector, we have a massive construction program underway to build, modernise and expand kindergartens across the state. This is making 2 years of kindergarten possible for all Victorian children. We organise emergency maintenance for schools damaged by natural disasters and other unforeseen issues. We have a new generation of relocatable buildings that we can move to schools in these situations, or to help others manage sudden increases in student enrolments. We offer grants for smaller building projects that make a big difference. This is making Victorian education more inclusive, better catering for students with disabilities or special needs. It is helping schools afford solar panels, making them more sustainable and reducing energy costs. It is helping non-government schools expand and modernise.

The beautifully subtle Fern Street Children's Centre in Black Rock was designed by Zen Architects. This project won Best New Kindergarten or Early Learning Centre at the 2024 Victorian School Design Awards. Using rough-sawn timber for cladding and distinctive curved fencing, the centre blends in to its unique natural setting. Inside, the timber finishes continue, along with soft greens and windows looking out onto the protected trees and parks. This creates a fun but calm treehouse vibe – all in a sustainable and energy-efficient building. The judges loved the thoughtful design, with low-level window placements for children, and how the materials fit well with the surrounding nature. They said: 'It makes a statement, but doesn't shout at you – which is important for an early learning centre.'
