BatTRI Hub 2.0, Deakin University
Melbourne, Australia
Deakin University
Project 2021 – 2022
BatTRI Hub 2.0 delivers an advanced battery fabrication, testing and diagnosis facility that expands the capabilities of the Deakin University’s Geelong Waurn Ponds battery engineering facility, BatTRI Hub 1.0.
Designed to all relevant Deakin University Design Standards, BatTRI Hub 2.0 serves a critical role in the translation of research into pre-commercial scale prototyping, testing and innovation services.
It is designed as a dry room constructed as a ‘box within a box’, in a refurbished warehouse shell close to Deakin University’s Burwood campus.
The facility was delivered to high technical specifications, including a semi-automated pilot production line comprised of three separate spaces – coding, pressing and assembly – as well as equipment operating in a temperature controlled dry room atmosphere.
Consultants were coordinated to ensure regulatory and statutory compliance with all relevant design, environmental, health and safety standards including hazardous materials and chemicals storage. Services infrastructure is designed to ensure sufficient power supply for production demand. It includes open plan office space adjacent and visually connected to the laboratory space.
In association with L2D.
