A building that embraces people and their ways of working on a human scale
Functional needs
• Encourage collaboration and sense of teamwork between staff and students across disciplines – spaces to gather in non-bookable spaces (alcoves, forest, pods)
• Good acoustics and consideration of interior materials to keep noise to a minimum
• Inclusion of a range of workplace settings, including enclosed offices and allocated workplaces
Aesthetic vision
Balance of quiet space and interactive space with a collegial and academic atmosphere that is activated and vibrant
• Spaces that are bright, green and offer natural light – comfortable not sterile
• Inviting outside spaces with connections to the natural environment and wilderness
Built form
• Access to comfortable chairs for reading, storage options for books, research materials and personal belongings • User-friendly technology, shared printer/storage in a separate; minimising disruption to work and study
“Campus is where I can focus and study without distraction. It’s where I feel like a scholar.” “Office privacy is important but being able to easily know when people are in is important too.”
