Barr Smith South & Engineering South Level 1 upgrade

This teaching spaces upgrade resulted in dynamic new facilities with a unique design aesthetic.

As one of the most highly used student spaces on campus and bordered by four lecture theatres, Barr Smith South offered great potential for the creation of a formal learning precinct to complement the existing informal spaces. The project also included the refurbishment of lecture theatres in Engineering South, which became the most talked-about rooms on campus.
