The new Byron College campus is approximately 5,000 square metres, located on Anthousa Avenue in Pallini. The site's surrounding trees and gentle slopes create a welcoming, calming atmosphere that supports focus and creativity.

The two main buildings house spacious classrooms and offices, while a third building includes study areas, a cafeteria and a library; there is parking for visitors and a drop-off/pick-up zone. Surrounding landscaped areas, sports fields and outdoor classrooms offer spaces for play and experiential learning, and the design uses bioclimatic principles with features such as underfloor heating, air-conditioning, shading louvers and green roofs to support sustainability.
