1. Eastern Precinct Student Centre (link between buildings)
Left to right: Counter-lever & Frame roof, Timber veneer, Counter lever steel roof
Potential Construction Constraints: -‐ Pre existing buildings This means that the level of the new floor needed to match the levels of the pre-existing buildings to either side. This also meant that the structural supports had to be carefully implemented to check that the pre-existing buildings did not receive new load that would exceed their load bearing capacity. The pre-existing buildings would have also presented constraints as to how the link was actually constructed as there would have been limited and constrained access to build and to place necessary tools and equipment. Links to other Buildings o Plate and four bolts directly onto columns o The main roof systems and flooring also matched and joined the two buildings through this new link Construction Type -‐ Concrete and Asphalt flooring -‐ Cladding – timber -‐ Acoustic panels -‐ Steel columns -‐ Glass windows Structural Systems -‐ Counter lever -‐ Steel Frame o Steel beams and columns Estimated dimensions 4 storeys high, 10meters wide, 25m deep

A fourth photo on the southern side of the building could not be taken due to access constraints.
3. Construction of foundation to the south of the building appears that it will support a load wall. Yellow caps are placed in the reinforcing rods for workplace safety. This is in early construction stage.
