Brisbane’s first vertical school, Inner City North State Secondary College, is set to be completed by 2020, with experts calling it a solution to the city’s unprecedented inner-city population growth.
The seven-story building will be constructed on St Paul’s Terrace and Brookes Street, at the site of the former Fortitude Valley State School.
According to government figures, over the past 10 years about 5,000 additional students have moved into existing inner-city schools with more than 3,000 additional students expected over the next five years.
