Designed by architects Thomson Adsett Charles Sturt University offer a range of courses from campuses across NSW in both main and regional cities. The new development, built mainly on the footprint of the existing building, was designed to transform the existing buildings located on the University’s Bathurst campus into a new School of Engineering, offering a brand new degree in both engineering and business skills. What makes it unique is the honeycomb layout specifically designed so the study areas can be flexible to give students control of the spaces to suit their study needs. The furniture can be rearranged to create collaborative learning areas where individuals or groups can feel comfortable. Making it the student’s space. The new facility includes a gallery, technological wall, maker studio, pitch space, labs and a ‘Honeycomb of Learning’ – a range of clustered collaboration zones that reflect the co-curricular and collaborative nature of the new learning environment. JHA Consulting Engineers were part of the team which delivered the project from building concept to completion and handover, providing Mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, fire, vertical transportation & ESD consultancy services in a combined effort from the JHA Brisbane and Sydney offices.
