Brisbane’s turning classrooms into skyscrapers—vertical schools are stacking learning high above the city to squeeze more students into tight urban spaces without gobbling up land. The first, Fortitude Valley State Secondary College, opened in 2020 to ease pressure on Kelvin Grove, followed by Brisbane South State Secondary College in 2021 for Brisbane State High. Beyond space-saving, these towers are fostering community and collaboration, with students reporting stronger bonds and a deeper sense of belonging. They’re also using the city as an outdoor classroom, blending innovation with real-world learning. While managing multi-level campuses is tricky, the payoff—more connection, creativity, and accessibility—is worth it, especially as Brisbane grows and prepares for the 2032 Olympics.
