The design process has involved regular briefing meetings, workshops and presentations with various faculty user groups, University Committees and Reference groups.

Central to the design is the Studio Hall, a large flexible space that provides for informal occupation over all times of the day.

It is spatially book ended at the east side by the heritage façade of the Elisabeth Murdoch building. The Studio Hall is enclosed by a coffered timber roof that mediates natural daylight and assists natural ventilation. The building has been designed to incorporate a number of innovative structural and services systems that combined with the building’s façade system contribute to achieving the targeted 6 star green star rated building.
