Stained-Glass Windows: A new century project
2000 Campaign
The stained-glass windows were installed in the Harriet Marks Dining Hall to mark the history of the College from its foundation in 1914 to the year 2000. The windows were made and installed by a Toowoomba stained-glass studio called Classic Stained Glass.
The following quote discusses the imagery in the series of stained-glass windows.
"Reflecting the winding Brisbane River with all the colours of jacaranda, poinciana, acacia and other flora along the river banks, the windows depict the history of the college at its two river sites, from the first at Kangaroo Point where Chislehurst, Oskarsholme and other college houses were located, to the second at the St Lucia campus site. One window was donated by Molly Budtz-Olsen, a devoted member of the college community; one by loyal former collegian and distinguished medical scientist, Dr Lurleen Perrett; two by the ever generous benefactor to the college, May Hancock; and the last by the College Council."
