The exterior walls of Billy Blue show how much we love design. This could be the only College in the world to win an award at the New York Type Directors Club for signage design (created by Billy Blue Creative). We’ve also won awards for the graphics on our classroom doors, some of which were designed by our own students. The popular interior graffiti wall is a work-in-progress, as it is a public space for unstructured creative expression.

The Brisbane campus is situated in Fortitude Valley and spreads over 1800 square metres. Access to the Brisbane campus is easy with students coming and going via bus, train, City Cat or ferry. The closest train station is Fortitude Valley and is approximately 250m walk from the campus.
