Project Info:

The refurbishment of the existing heritage-listed laboratory reconfigured the internal layout to maximise teaching space while respecting the building's original character. The project delivers two modern physics laboratories alongside dedicated areas for collaboration, discussion and independent learning, supporting both practical experimentation and flexible, student-centred teaching.

the design

Student Collaboration A custom stretched canvas light feature incorporates artwork created through a student-led design process, embedding elements of physics. Concept Integration The ceiling panels derive from the concept of gravitational waves, with varying heights pixelated across the roof reinforcing the subject matter through a subtle and integrated design language.
