Project detail

An underutilised student area on the ground floor of Nexus 10 will be repurposed to deliver an immersive, purpose-built AI/VR Laboratory that can be utilised by a range of compatible research activities.

The project includes creation of distinct zones within the Hub, including:

  • Open space VR/AI area where most demonstration and research activities will occur.
  • An open-plan “developer” workspace that adjoins the VR/ AI area.
  • Meet and greet corner adjoining the large area, with privacy film.

As well as improving and enhancing AR/VR teaching and research capability and improving the staff and student experience, the project has potential to increase engagement with industry and attract high-profile visitors to improve visibility of research capabilities.

Expected completion is July 2025.
