A brief description of the institution’s main campus and other aspects of the institutional boundary used to complete this report:
Robina Campus has one building of 8055 square metres which has been used as the institutional boundary. TAFE Queensland leases the building and therefore does not own the grounds. Only the building itself has been included as the institutional boundary.

The building has a 2-level car park basement with the square metre calculation including TAFE Queensland staff parking allocation. Above the basement car parking is four levels of flexible multi-purpose training spaces, teaching rooms, student areas, break-out zones as well as live training facilities including a restaurant, café, hair, barber, and beauty salons, an event centre, and a gym.

Robina Campus is the first Vocational Education and Training (VET) campus in Australia designed from the ground up to be sustainable in building, fit-out, procurement, curriculum, operations, and culture. The building's modern design and construction practices meet sustainability ambitions and reduce greenhouse emissions including meeting the National Australian Built Environment 5-star rating standard with 250 solar panels providing renewable energy for the campus and maximised use of performance solar glass. The fit-out includes recycled materials and ecological finishes throughout with installed sensor-activated lighting and LED task lighting.
