UNIQUE FEATURES
a) Indoor Environment
- Low VOC paints, sealants and adhesives, carpets, flooring, and tenancy fit out items - All engineered wood products contain low or no formaldehyde
b) Energy
- Stairs evenly distributed and located near the building entrance and lifts, are open to natural daylight, encouraging use
- Streets and Lanes separate the buildings, voids break up large floor plates, and translucent roof sheeting over ensures natural daylight penetration into lower levels
- Secure bicycle parks, lockers and showers - Site’s proximity to public transport systems encourages the use of public transport
c) Structural building
- 90% of the existing steel structure has been retained and a new flexible and adaptable education facility created that provides opportunities for innovation and display of the TAFE student activities.
- Provides a variety of spaces for student centred learning and the effective use of glazed partitioning throughout has maximized the showcasing of TAFE activities to the public
- Provided visual and physical connections to the existing steel structure as well as ensuring day lighting opportunities are realized in all settings.
- The strong expression of the existing steel work, exposed services and minimal internal applied finishes supports the buildings role as a demonstrator learning tool for the students and the wider community.
d) Material used- 90% are re-used from factory steel structure to create large spaces and nature lighting for roofing.- Less users of wood material
