The Goddard Rooftop Expansion project provided a further habitable level above an existing building in the heart of the University of Queensland’s St Lucia Campus. The extension rests silently above the State Heritage listed building which houses the Faculty of Biological Science.
The new design is contemporary and is to be read as a distinct addition to its setting. Clad in a perforated copper screen, the new addition has been designed to complement the original building’s proportions, fenestration and curtilage. The structural system mimics the rhythm of the Great Court’s colonnade below and the steel portal frame structure provides a permanent shell to allow flexible internal spaces, which may be adapted to accommodate the varied future functions of the expanding faculty.
The project was complicated by the requirement for the existing building below to remain operational throughout construction including the highly serviced teaching and research laboratories at the lower levels. The function provides naturally ventilated work spaces for the building occupants who undertake post-graduate level research for the Centre for Excellence in Environmental Decisions.
