The Building Design of Warrnambool Campus in Australia

Warrnambol Campus located in Australia and built by Lyons . The glaze façade of Warrnambool has hexagonal apertures tilted down towards the Campus.

The new building becomes an access door for the town and private campus. The design of glazed aperture has a steel structure which made up of zinc; provide solar shading and natural ventilation.

The building is approximately 2,870sqm of floor space. On the ground floor, there are campus student services.

On the first floor the campus administration and directorate whereas a conference centre and other general learning spaces contained in upper level.

Permission from the Heritage Council of Victoria is needed to do this project.  Anextension of the civic space has the shape of the footpath repeated across three levels.

This concept creates natural ventilation which allows circulation visible onto the street. The profile of expanded metal was expanded to a gigantic scale – one that works with the street.

A glazed wall formed underneath the major circulation stair acts as the admission to the student service centre, and then continues t through to the rear campus courtyard space.

The students can do their learning activities informally on the street wall to a series of student spaces.

The use of natural ventilation which forms a part of concept of the northern façade intends on making circulation space.

The source of irrigation of campus derives from storm water harvested off the roof and landscape.
