University of Tasmania Executive Workplace Renewal

 

The transformative fit-out converted an outdated, ‘celled’ workplace of enclosed offices and dark corridors into an open, engaging, contemporary environment offering choice for different work modes, and encouraging collaboration and social encounters. Semi-transparent and sculptural in form, the bespoke timber spine at its core subtly guides and defines the varying zones for social, quiet, collaborative and public activities. Recognising the opportunity to create more than just a comfortable and productive workplace, the space is now seen as a prominent public face for the university, a showcase fit for local and international guests visiting the executive team. Materiality, process and design help to tell the story of the university’s ideals and values, promoting cross-disciplinary collaboration founded on a rich local heritage and geared towards a forward-thinking, globally connected future.
