An innovative hub designed to integrate industry and evidence based learning with interdisciplinary and global research in energy, water, resources, consumer products and sustainable engineering. Delivered in partnership with Lyons Architecture and M3 Architecture, this 12 storey building is intrinsically linked by a central atrium and vertical learning laboratory.

A combined building plant and laboratory flue roof space is located on the top floor of the building. The building primarily consists of modern, state of the art wet research laboratories, offices and meeting spaces, teaching and learning spaces, plus flexible shared spaces spanning a total floor area of approximately 20,000m2.

The teaching spaces are collaborative and multi modal, immersed in a technology rich environment

The informal learning spaces include 24-hour student learning centres which are an important enhancement to the student’s learning environment. The team successfully incorporated multi-storey and single storey Pilot Hall spaces, adaptable for rigs to be constructed for process engineering learning and research initiatives.
