Mr Chester said, "This building is a testament to the exceptional quality of our local builders and tradespeople and promotes the importance of utilising local trades. This project supported local jobs throughout the construction and Brookers Builders have delivered an exceptional facility that will support students now and into the future."
"The new Arts and Design Centre at Gippsland Grammar will support students in a range of arts and media subjects such as woodworking, graphic design and ceramics. Improving student facilities ensures young Gippslanders have access to a wide range of specialist subjects."
