On the outskirts of Melbourne, Australia, a green movement is under way in an area known for its stunning blue bay views. Sited on the northern edge of Swinburne University of Technology's Wantirna Campus, the Knox Innovation Training Opportunity and Sustainability Centre (KIOSC) reflects a partnership between a consortium of seven local primary schools and Swinburne's Technical and Further Education (TAFE) Division. Designed by the Melbourne studio of Woods Bagot, the two-story, 1,800-square-meter (19,375-square-foot) building provides learning spaces and a training hub to prepare secondary school students (roughly equivalent to grades 7 to 12 in the U.S.) for careers in sustainability.
