This project is the first new building on the Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds Campus. It is a gateway building into the campus and has been designed to showcase Deakin's progress approach to academic buildings.
It delivers joint undergraduate teaching and post graduate research spaces that will enhance and support the expansion of the Science program for the Faculty of Science and Technology, and compliment the Medical School for the Faculty of Health, Medicine, Nursing and Behavioural Science.
The building is 8,000sqm over 4 levels, including basement. It comprises an academic wing containing labs, teaching spaces and research areas, and an office wing containing staff offices and a common room. The two wings are separated by a 3-storey naturally lit atrium, and a 200 seat Lecture Theatre that projects out from the building towards the adjacent lake and oval. The Building design is intended to reflect the semi-rural nature of the Campus and the University’s Rural Program through the use of local, natural materials and indigenous landscape inspired colour scheme.
Steel is the project's signature, allowing for an innovative raked façade and evocative building shapes. The steel structure has allowed for a lightweight, elegant structure for a portion of the building in juxtaposition to the concrete structure used for the academic and research parts of the building.
Whilst not formally rated this project has been designed to be as sustainable as possible within the functional requirements of the brief. The non-air conditioned atrium acts as a thermal chimney with ceiling louvres, and is heated as needed via the basement thermal rock store.
Long life, loose fit materials have been selected with consideration for their inherent properties for durability, finish and look, need for maintenance, distance of travel from source, amount of energy used to manufacture and install and life span.
