It was designed by architectural firm nEdwards, Madigan, Torzillo and Briggs, and architect Penleigh Boyd was in charge of construction.

Campus facilities include general use science laboratories; metal, wood, and auto technology workshops; a kitchen class room; sporting facilities including a rowing shed; drama, dance, art and photography studios; and teaching spaces from 20 person class rooms to an eighty-seat lecture theatre.

Fully qualified Teacher Librarians, in addition to ACT Public Library staff, further the services provided to college students.

The campus culture is structured on university lines, with larger amounts of freedom of expression and emphasis on personal responsibility with regard to educational commitment than privately operated equivalent schools.

The ACT government does not allow schools to set compulsory fees to its domestic students, however the college Board suggests a voluntary contribution which includes a base sum of $180 per year.
