In 2004, the Allan & Maria Myers Academic Centre, a joint facility shared between St Mary’s and Newman College, was opened. It was designed by Maggie Edmond and Peter Corrigan to reflect the overall academic vision of both colleges to merge and enhance the educational facilities and opportunities available to the students of the University's Roman Catholic colleges. The centre contains a library, tutorial rooms, music practice rooms, student lounges and information technology facilities. It also houses the college's art collection which was for many years curated and managed by the internationally renowned art historian, and College alumna, Sr Margaret Manion AO.
