3 Brown Street Youth Centre

In June 2017, as part of the School of Architecture and Built Environment’s collaboration with Tangentyere Council, we began working on significant alterations to the Youth Centre at 3 Brown Street in Alice Springs. The alterations were to increase the Centre’s capacity to provide safe and culturally appropriate spaces for a range of activities, and a sense of address that 5-17 year olds would feel comfortable visiting and spending some time in with others. In consultation with the Youth Centre manages and a range of different users, a final design was prepared, approved and exhibited in Alice Springs (June 2017) and Newcastle (July 2018).
