University of Tasmania \u2013<\/em> Student Centre<\/h1>\n

The Student Centre refurbishment is part of the Queens Walk Redevelopment at the University of Tasmania in Launceston. Known on campus as building \u2018Y\u2019, the 1970s building is a Philp Lighton Architects original. Building \u2018Y\u2019 was originally student accommodation, but it has been modified for student services. Our brief was to develop a front of house, student-focussed customer service environment with high connectivity; creating a space where staff work with the students and don\u2019t sit behind a stereotypical reception counter. The solution pares\u00a0back heavy masonry construction and creates a large open-plan space complete with service pods, student lounges and clever joinery in the same architectural language as the development. The indoor environment quality has been improved by a building management system, which controls natural ventilation and a hydronic heating system powered by a high efficiency, natural gas boiler. Signage for the building was designed by Philp Lighton Architects too and is based on the thinking triangle concept.<\/p>\n
