The Macquarie University Incubator is a new space for students, research staff, entrepreneurs and startups who are working on research or an idea that can be commercialised. The building is a prefabricated timber structure that was designed to enable future dismantle, relocation and reassembly. The Incubator is a pilot project in mass timber prefabrication for both Macquarie University and the delivery team. The building is naturally ventilated. Performance glazing has been utilised throughout, and rainwater runoff is collected at ground level. While the construction period was six months, the structure was erected in 37 days. This building delivered strength, functionality, beauty with speed and quality outcomes that surpass conventional construction methods.
