Mercedes College new Arts and Sports Precinct

This Term, Mercedes College opened their highly-anticipated new Arts and Sports Centre, adding a superb new Precinct to their sprawling, botanic Campus.

Boasting a built-for-purpose performing Arts Space, an Atrium and Gallery, state-of-the-art high-performance Gym, plus multiple indoor and outdoor tennis and netball courts, this new addition to the College will provide a range of spaces for students to learn, grow, perform and play.

The indoor Gym and training space is the centrepiece of the new development and has been named the Yitpi Centre. Yitpi comes from the Kaurna language – meaning ‘soul and seed’ – which reflects the College’s commitment to helping all students to grow and flourish, in all aspects of their learning, as well as their passions in sport, drama, performance and music.

Known for its strong sense of community, this new space will bring families, staff and students together to celebrate key moments on Campus, which is the perfect way to celebrate 70 years of Mercedes College.
