Cairns Technical College and High School Building
Cairns Technical College and High School Building, Heritage educational building in Cairns, Australia.
The three-story L-shaped structure features Neo-Classical elements with brick and concrete construction, incorporating south-facing verandahs and Ionic columns at the entrance.
Construction of the building occurred between 1939 and 1941 as part of Queensland Government's unemployment relief program during the economic recovery of the 1930s.
The institution merged technical college and high school programs in 1924, establishing a combined educational model that addressed local workforce development needs.
Located at the intersection of Sheridan and Upward Streets, the building continues to serve as an active educational facility within Cairns State High School.
The building maintained operations through World War II, providing technical training for wartime production while adjacent military facilities operated nearby.
