LINES OF SIGHT
Nautilus Centre, Concordia College, Adelaide
Flowing circulation, deep light and collegiate learning spaces comprise Russell and Yelland’s
Nautilus Centre for Concordia College. An elegant envelope featuring concrete fins and
structural glazing are part of the ensemble designed for student interaction and discovery.
Viridian’s ComfortPlus™ is used with aplomb to celebrate the centre, located in suburban
Highgate, a few kilometres south of the Adelaide CBD. Juxtaposed with the school’s historic
origins, the centre’s modernity contrasts in thoroughly contemporary ways. ‘Mirrored’ across
a grassy quadrangle, old and new provide a positive contrast of styles, eras and aspirations.
