The design concept is a multi-level, linear street with three-storey ‘fingers’ of transformational learning spaces reaching out into the landscape. Timber ‘jewels’ between the ‘fingers’ contain dining, ICT, LRC and conference facilities. The social street provides a sense of place and fosters a sense of community where the buzz of learning can be seen and experienced. Learning spaces employ passive environmental principles such as natural ventilation and high thermal mass to create an energy efficient and pleasant environment to study.
