The refurbishment of the original buildings respects their vertical masonry expression, chevron soffits; and circular motifs. A new building re-works the same chevron and circular geometries into a contemporary addition.

Planning is reconfigured throughout so that academic, staff and research areas have access to daylight and natural ventilation. These areas are designed for greater collaboration and knowledge sharing between staff and students.

The wider of the two original buildings fronts the campus mall. Here, a new façade incorporates horizontal shading devices that improve environmental performance while respecting the original façade order.

The original office wing is replaced by a long-span flexible teaching wing. Informal learning spaces encourage students to spend more time in the building. The long span structure of the new wing accommodates a 350-seat lecture theatre, beneath which connects the upper and lower ground levels.
