The Former Princes Bridge Lecture Room, completed in 1917, was a purpose-built training facility by the Victorian Railways Department for railway staff, as part of the electrification of the Melbourne suburban railway network. In 1999, the City of Melbourne identified the historic red-brick building located in the proposed Birrarung Marr park as a potential venue for a unique child focused arts space in central Melbourne.
Our programming exists on what always was and always will be the land of the people of the Kulin nation. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, as well as to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the wider Melbourne community and beyond. Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded in Australia and we try to be mindful of this in everything we do, given our focus on the modern built environment.
