Macquarie University’s new Engineering Innovation Building is substantially complete, with final equipment and finishing touches underway. When it opens, the building will be home to the university’s physics, astronomy and engineering studies.
Designed by Woods Bagot, with strategic briefing input from ERA-co – a sister company within the 7C Network – the project has involved the adaptive reuse of an existing brick building at 9 Wally’s Walk with new dry labs, offices and lower-intensity learning spaces. To the east, a new purpose-built wing with a triangular-patterned metal and glazed facade has been designed to house high-service engineering workshops, heavy machinery and the Integration Hall for Australian Astronomical Optics – a three-storey, crane-equipped laboratory where astronomical instrumentation can be assembled and tested in total darkness.
