The Ferny Grove State High School in Queensland opened a new $21.1 million world class STEM Centre.

The Centre of Excellence was built under the 2020 Ready Program and the new threestorey centre comprises 22 new learning spaces, three flexible learning areas, a STEM specialist studio, four science labs, five collaborative spaces, staff rooms, offices and amenities.

QLD Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk described the new STEM centre “nothing short of world-class”, it provides local students access to world-class learning facilities and a chance to discover their passion for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.

The second stage of the construction commenced early 2021 with a $12.1 million multi-purpose hall which will include two multi-purpose courts, performance stage, box office and foyer, and support spaces.
