The University of Sydney Life, Earth & Environmental Sciences Building (LEES 1) integrates teaching, research, and faculty accommodation, showcasing the university's dedication to scientific advancement while preserving the site's mature fig trees.
Located on an important site that defines a new campus gateway for the University of Sydney, the Life, Earth & Environmental Sciences Building (LEES 1) is a clear demonstration of the university’s commitment to scientific research and teaching.
The new facility combines teaching, research and faculty accommodation from other sites across the campus, providing a home for the new School of Life and Environmental Sciences. The project will be split into teaching laboratories and research spaces.
The design is a carefully articulated response to the complicated site, which preserves important mature figs on one boundary, and anticipates future integration with the existing Carslaw Building to the North.
