TRCB has worked closely with John XXIII College as its Campus Architects, recently completing Stage 1 of the College’s campus masterplan. The project reimagined the College’s entrance, strategically relocated buildings, and introduced state-of-the-art administrative facilities designed to enhance staff development and well-being. The newly constructed administration building now serves as the main hub for senior leadership, offering modern office spaces and meeting rooms with a focus on natural light, ventilation, and privacy. The design also emphasizes environmental sustainability, with natural ventilation reducing reliance on air conditioning and external screening offering privacy and climate control.

In addition, the redesigned library has been transformed into a dynamic student engagement hub, featuring versatile spaces and modern amenities to inspire learning and creativity. The first floor of the administration building houses a collaborative staff facility, offering expansive views of the College chapel spire, alongside breakout meeting rooms, professional reading areas, and generous amenities that support professional development and school-wide meetings.

These enhancements reflect John XXIII College’s commitment to providing a modern, dynamic educational environment while preserving its legacy. The collaborative efforts of the College community, students, staff, and parents, were integral to shaping these inspiring spaces that foster creativity and uphold the College’s esteemed traditions.
