Kane Constructions has completed the new Boarding House for the Melbourne Indigenous Transition School (MITS) at 371 Church Street, Richmond. The project involved the demolition of existing buildings dating back to the 1920s and 1980s, followed by the construction of a new two-level administration and boarding facility with a basement.
Delivered at cost, this project represents the latest stage in Kane’s long-standing partnership with MITS, following the successful delivery of previous refurbishments at MITS Boarding House Refurbishment at 139 Richmond Terrace and MITS Boarding House Refurbishment at 364 Church Street.
The new boarding house provides a welcoming and supportive environment for students, with administration spaces, communal living areas and purpose-built facilities designed to meet the needs of young Indigenous students transitioning from remote and regional communities.
MITS provides a residential and educational program for Year 7 students, who then transition to Melbourne partner schools across independent, government and catholic sectors. The new 371 Church Street facility expands MITS’ capacity to continue delivering life-changing opportunities, connection and community for young people from across Australia.
