About this project
The refurbishment project meets Deakin University’s spatial needs for teaching and research in contemporary and safe environments for staff and students.
It includes teaching and research laboratories for students of Life and Environmental Sciences, a series of chemistry labs for the Institute for Frontier Materials, and various computer, VR and robotics labs for Deakin’s School of IT.
Based upon efficient planning and space optimisation it meets contemporary teaching and learning practices with flexible, reconfigurable settings, embedded ‘plug and play’ technology and ergonomic height adjustable desks for workplace wellness.
The project was delivered in four distinct stages, and constructed by two different contractors, at times with overlapping timeframes.
