Crawford School at Australian National University: A three-storey educational facility designed to harmonize with the Acton Peninsula landscape, featuring sustainable design elements, advanced teaching spaces, and a focus on environmental conservation.
Client: Australian National University
Overlooking elements of the native landscape of the Acton Peninsula of Lake Burley Griffin, the building is designed to minimise its environmental impact and nestle into its natural setting. A number of environmentally sustainable design initiatives are provided including high levels of natural ventilation and natural lighting, energy-efficient mixed-mode mechanical systems, tempered corridor spaces, rainwater collection, and water conservation. The three-storey building includes purpose-designed teaching spaces, staff offices, conference rooms, and a cafe. The Crawford School’s major teaching spaces include two lecture theatres, a 200-seat facility, and a more intimate 70-seat horse-shoe-tiered theatre.
