University of the Sunshine Coast Moreton Bay Foundation Building
Hansen Yuncken successfully delivered the state of the art Foundation Building, marking the beginning of a new campus in the Moreton Bay region. The three storey facility spans more than 16,000m2 of floor space, featuring a stunning 460 seat internal amphitheatre, providing relaxed study areas for students and community events.
Expertly designed by Hassell architects, the building includes a large lecture theatre, multi-purpose rooms, student centre, library, food and beverage spaces and multi deck carpark, all designed to accommodate a rapidly growing student population. The building is positioned at one end of a planned open mall that will stretch out to a future village green and community library. The Foundation Building was opened successfully in time for Semester 1, 2020, with the first intake of students choosing from almost 50 study programs including business, education and computer science.
