The Peter Coaldrake Education Precinct, designed for the Queensland University of Technology by Henning Larsen and Wilson Architects, draws from surrounding campus activity to breathe new life into traditional academic models.
The six-level, 11,000 m2 building layers classroom, research and office facilities atop an airy ground-level atrium, framing upper academic spaces around an active social foundation.
Positioned between the university library and a main thoroughfare in QUT’s Kelvin Grove Campus, the Faculty of Education building extends its atrium to campus traffic, drawing new visitors and encouraging new connections within.
The building gives a new social and academic focal point to campus, a learning environment reflecting the latest innovations in technology, educational philosophy and sustainability.
The project cost $94 million to construct, was completed in January 2019, and awarded the 2020 John Dalton Award for Building of the Year by the Australian Institute of Architects (Queensland Chapter).
