Bulimba State School is located on a 1.88 hectares (4.6 acres) site and is bound by Oxford Street to the north, Wentworth parade to the East, Riding Road to the West and by Barton Parade and freehold property to the South.
It is a steeply sloping west facing site with levelled areas occupied by school buildings and parade and play areas at the top of the site.
Pathways west of Block B and south of Block C wind down the steep embankment to the netball courts, cricket facilities and bottom oval on more level ground at the Riding Road and Barton Parade boundaries to the site.

The school buildings and structures comprise Block A, B, C and D (a demountable classroom), a new administration and resource centre and a timber framed classroom block under construction.
Concrete walls retain both Wentworth Parade and Oxford Street (from the corner to the swimming pool) boundaries.
A tennis court is located on the north-eastern corner, several metres above street level.
Between the tennis court and the swimming pool, the demountable building -Block D, a shelter shed and the adventure playground are located.

Block A and B form the eastern and northern boundaries to the parade area, part of which is now occupied by the new outdoor learning area and verandahs of the new resource and administration building.
A new classroom building is located to the west of Block B.
The in ground concrete swimming pool has covered seating and changing rooms enclosing it to the north, east and west.
Block C, the former infant school and now used as the Preschool, is located to the west of the swimming pool and faces Oxford Street.

Block A is a symmetrical two storey load bearing brick building with basement and hipped terracotta tiled roof.
The primary and secondary entrances to the building are expressed by a projected pedimented gable wing to the west and a pair of breakfronts to the east.
A prominent fleche is centrally located.

The treatment of the elevations creates a basement level distinct from the two floors of the school proper above.
The load bearing brick work to the basement is rendered and ruled to form a plinth upon which bays of stretcher bond red brickwork are relieved with pilasters of contrasting Flemish bond dark glazed brickwork shafts with cement rendered bases and capitals of restrained detail.
The horizontal banding of the frieze to the pedimented gable and breakfronts continues below the eaves around the perimeter of the building.
The main entry is expressed by a pedimented doorway and the symmetry reinforced by two straight flight of stairs with half landing from the north and south.

At basement level, a play space occupies the area between the north and south stairwells with boys' lavatories at the southern end of the building and girls lavatories to the north.
Separate facilities were provided for infants, older children and teachers and have now been altered to include a parents' room and storage areas.
Seats to curtain walls, drinking taps and troughs, and store areas under main entry stair are also located in the basement which has a low floor to floor height compared to the floors above.
Detailing in the play area includes bullnose brickwork on freestanding and engaged piers, eliminating right angle corners to reduce injury.

The classrooms have timber floors supported on a series of articulated steel beams expressed in the ceiling detailing and stairwells; corridors and utility areas have suspended concrete floors.
Downpipes are located within the walls.
Four four-light casement windows with fanlights above provide ventilation to the corridor and into the classroom through double hung windows
On the ground floor, the main entry hall separates the office and head teacher's rooms.
The hall leads to the centre of a north-south corridor which provides access to five classrooms between the north and south stair halls.
The central three classrooms are divided by folding partition doors.
A cloak room and cleaner's sink are provided at the eastern end of each stairwell.
Another classroom and cloak room is located in the end bay at
