Directing Movement
The New Student Precinct (under construction)
The chosen site is focused on the corner of Sidney Meyer and near the entrance of the new student precinct, this is also where a traffic light is found. There will be lots of foot traffic in this area and the design and direct movement and activate the eastern facade of Sidney Meyer better.
Activities change due to varying heights
