Prize
Winner

The Langley Precinct project is located within Sydney University’s Womens’ College. The works include a new multipurpose building, the Sibyl Centre that allows for social, activities, lectures, performances, conferences and general leisure. Car parking and landscaped courtyards were included in the scope of works. Works were staged and handed over progressively. Early works comprised demolition and relocation of major services and removal of hazardous materials. Adjacent buildings remained occupied during the works. Setout was challenging, with the footprint varying at each level. The services required complex integration of numerous services.  All works were undertaken within a working university. There was one street frontage, with limited access for deliveries and removal of materials.  Features include the face brickwork, parquetry flooring and a copper screen that is the central feature of the building and the precinct, decorated with a perforated image of a college play from 1960s. The structure behind the screen was a complex stainless-steel cable support system to ensure the structure did not interfere with the visibility of the image. This well-constructed building and associated refurbishment, colonnades and landscaped courtyards are the result of innovative thinking and an innovative approach to a complex task.
