Project:
Abdul Ladha Science Student Centre

This “infill” project sited between two well established buildings on the University campus took the place of a relatively unused and forgotten courtyard. Important to the carefully planned siting, was the continuation of the pedestrian flow through the site which helped contribute to the informal pathway system on campus. This unique building is one of only a handful of independent student society buildings on campus and serves to provide the Faculty of Science with much needed student study and multifunctional gathering spaces. The design team worked closely with the Science Undergraduate Society and the user committee to develop the flexible space program by incorporating both sustainability and public art throughout.
