Barr Smith South & Engineering South Level 1 upgrade

Phase 1 of the Barr Smith South teaching spaces upgrade resulted in dynamic new facilities with a unique design aesthetic.

As the most highly used student space on campus and bordered by four lecture theatres, Barr Smith South offered the greatest potential for the creation of a formal learning precinct to complement the existing informal spaces. The project also included the refurbishment of lecture theatres in Engineering South, which became the most talk about rooms on campus.
