The project required consideration of a master plan developed for the site and responded to environmental site constraints including the assessment of flora and fauna while addressing bushfire risk. The form of the building responded to existing structures on site.
All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates..

While considering the evolving character of the campus, detailing and materials were carefully selected to give a contemporary appearance that minimised maintenance. The resulting building makes a positive contribution to the image of the University.
Architecture is one part science, one part craft and two parts art.
