The Integrated Learning Centre is designed to reflect the
intimate relationship between students, technology and the
natural environment.
The building will form part of a courtyard blending and
physically linking with other campus buildings, opening onto
the exterior landscape.
We used an architecture composed
of natural materials, to blend into it’s wonderfully treed and
rustic site.
For cost effectiveness, the building is comprised of two
segments, a laboratory science wing and an information
technology wing, joined by a transparent glazed link. By
dividing the building into smaller pavilions it is more in keeping
with human scale, whilst maintaining greater building
efficiencies.
A two storey high glazed interior ‘street’, that is an
expression of activity and a place for chance meeting and
sharing ideas, runs through the entire length of the building.
