Forestry Building - Design Vision

1 A building that identifies with the distinctiveness of each discipline

Functional needs

• The iconic building and spaces reference Hobart history and provide a sense of belonging for Law and Business in the city

• We will bring historical items from Sandy Bay with us; celebrating staff and student success

Aesthetic vision

• Use of Tasmanian timbers and local materials, inclusion of Tasmanian artwork

• Acknowledgement heritage and indigenous cultures

Built form

• Business: Access to an Experimental Economics Lab and Tax Clinic

• Law: Moot Court, law themed study spaces and Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice space to meet the teaching and research needs of each discipline

• Administration: Enables teamwork, lean and agile work practices and a positive culture

“The times I’ve thought ‘I’d love to work here’ have been when I enter a school or faculty and it feels like a genuine academic environment rather than a corporate or government one.”

Study spaces have adopted a distinctive Law character
