The Global Change Institute draws together research excellence and expertise from across the University of Queensland, industry, government and the community to address grand challenges which deliver impact to society, the economy, the environment, and culture.

The Institute is housed in a $32 million building designed by HASSELL which meets the world’s most advanced levels of sustainability.

The building demonstrates sustainable technological research and pilots innovative sustainable building solutions.

The building has been designed to work with the natural environment and will operate as a zero energy and carbon neutral workplace.

It is naturally ventilated for most of the year and generates and stores all its own power on-site through renewable solar energy sources that are pollution-free.

All excess power will be delivered back to the national grid.
