Abax Kingfisher: Elevating education spaces with future focused fitouts
When Australian Christian College (ACC) – Marsden Park unveiled its new Technology and Administration Hub, it marked more than just the opening of a modern facility. It was the realisation of a future-focused learning environment backed by thoughtful design and strong partnerships. At the heart of that transformation was Abax Kingfisher, the trusted fitout partner delivering flexible, durable, and beautifully integrated furniture across all three levels of the cutting-edge development.
ACC Marsden Park is part of Christian Education Ministries (CEM), a not-for-profit organisation leading the way in Christian education. Since 2019, CEM has relied on Abax Kingfisher to support its growing network of schools across Australia. This long-standing relationship began with a senior study space consultation and has since evolved into a trusted national partnership.
In 2024, Abax Kingfisher was awarded the $900K+ loose furniture and joinery fit out for ACC’s flagship Tech Hub, following a collaborative planning process with CEM’s Head of Business Development, Steve Read, and final approval from CEO David Fyfe.
Working alongside the ACC leadership team, Abax Kingfisher delivered a comprehensive, whole-campus solution tailored to both administrative functionality and next-generation learning.
Transforming spaces that inspire learning
The fitout spanned a broad range of specialist,learning, and support areas, including:
- Research centre: Featuring custom-built Genius Style Bar tables that encourage professional-style collaboration.
- Makerspace and CAD labs: Equipped with ergonomic chairs, flexible workstations, acoustic wall panelling, and integrated bag hooks for practical use.
- Mac labs, film studios and podcast booths: Designed to support multimedia workflows with flexible furnishings and thoughtful layouts.
- Library: A quiet hub split into junior and senior zones, furnished with modular shelving, reading pods, and comfortable, purpose-fit seating.
- Executive and administration offices, meeting rooms, and boardrooms: Outfitted with commercial-grade desks, storage, and visitor seating to enhance both function and style.
Abax Kingfisher also delivered smart, space-efficient solutions for kitchenettes, staff rooms, and the front administration desk, ensuring a consistent visual identity and ergonomic user experience throughout the building.
Abax Kingfisher has proven to be a reliable partner who delivers not only excellent products, but also outstanding service from start to finish.” – Steve Read, Head of Business Development, Christian Education Ministries.
Designed with purpose
What set this project apart was the alignment between pedagogy and design. Every space was tailored not just for visual appeal, but to directly support the educational goals of ACC’s STEAM curriculum and community-centred ethos. Whether students are designing robots, recording podcasts, or collaborating in research teams, their environment is now purpose-built to help them thrive.
