About this project
The Research Innovation Science and Engagement (RISE) Precinct was to be part of the new science and technology precinct enabling a paradigm shift in the University’s research footprint at Deakin University’s Burwood Campus. The project comprised a new 9-storey multi-disciplinary research and teaching building, along with refurbishment of multiple buildings to create over 20,000m² of space for the School of Information Technology, School of Life and Environmental Science and Institute for Frontier Materials. The project brief called for an innovation hub that:
– Fostered a culture of collaboration and connection between the three schools.
– Enhanced the University’s cross-disciplinary research, providing new opportunities for industry collaboration, commercial research partnerships within an international research precinct.
– Provide world-class, highly flexible and fit-for-purpose learning spaces for multi-discipline teaching.
