Facilities

Our exceptional studio and workshop spaces support our teaching and research. They allow staff, students and researchers the chance to build technical skills and cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset.

Based in the Piazza Building on Campus East, our facilities enable students to explore the intersection between architectural theory and practice. They foster collaboration and creative exploration for the pursuit of meaningful design solutions.

Design studio

Our new design studio is where students have their own allocated working space. It is open plan to encourage peer and group learning. Students have facilities to use drawing boards and make models.

There are dedicated print facilities adjacent so they can print out their ideas. They can present their work on large presentation panels or large digital screens. These facilities support students to creatively explore and present their ideas digitally and with physical drawing and models.
