Boyd Community Hub

Architect Henry Bastow

Building Description

Architect: Henry Bastow, 1884
Refurbishment: WH Bolger, 1930

From “mothering” tuition to Melbourne’s first integrated community space, the Boyd Community Hub is home to a former college for girls’ tuition in the ‘domestic realm’. This heritage-listed building is now a vibrant community hub for the City of Melbourne and is regarded as one of the most architecturally significant state school buildings of the 19th century.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

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.
