Prize
Winner

The Michael Kirby Law School project involved the redevelopment of an existing building within the live campus including all services, amenities and infrastructure. The project required the demolition of levels 2 and 3 and partial demolition of the ground floor and Level 1 concrete slab while retaining the existing first floor slab and columns structural elements. The redeveloped 4 storey building consists of a massed timber structure on top of and around the retained first floor concrete structure. The large open central atrium contains a scenic lift, an architectural helical staircase and cantilevered CLT meeting rooms.  The project sets a benchmark for the future of mass timber projects and tertiary educational spaces. The finished product is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and strategic vision seamlessly integrating innovative timber technologies into the adaptive reuse of an existing structure. The result is a vibrant hub for learning that not only inspires but also promotes wellbeing and collaboration.
