This project works across multiple existing buildings and spaces to unify a creative precinct, elaborating the aims of the Caulfield Campus masterplan to shift from a campus of isolated buildings separated by car parks to a continuous active ground plane with integrated buildings. A range of workshops and production spaces across the precinct were rationalised and relocated to prime ground-floor locations.
The entire ground level of Building G (Denton Corker Marshall, 1995) has been converted to a suite of workshop, research and student work spaces ranging from large and messy fabrication processes at one end to the small-scale electronics, robotic experiments and immersion spaces of SensiLab at the other. Existing narrow central stairs were removed and replaced with new wider stairs at either end of the restored atrium, increasing capacity and improving desire lines while allowing direct connection between the workshop, associated informal student project space and courtyard.
