Site Plan

Composed of multiple dynamic functions – this microcosm of student life is unified under a bird-wing like glulam structure which soars outwards to embrace its newly-interconnected neighbors.
Each function is expressed as a self-contained volume with its own unique spatial and material character.
These volumes are lifted, twisted, pushed in and out of the façade, the resulting voids and spaces in-between form the buildings navigable corridor-less public playground. The exterior has strong monotone references to the adjoining context, yet when one transitions through the facade during the day or as evening approaches on the concourse, the fun, colour and vibrancy of this centre springs into life.
In the first year of its operation the building has been a generator of a new found vibrancy within the campus having something for everyone.
As a public building it has fostered an engagement with the wider public never witnessed before: a place for everyone.
“This is a complex, sophisticated building. We have worked hard to provide a fun, exciting space which contributes to the UCD student experience 24 hours a day, 365 days a year�

‘Ngoolark’ brings to ECU a building and place with a new living and active platform for ‘University Life’, creating an interactive and integrated campus building bringing together the multitude of functions required to provide the highest quality of student services for the campus community and future master-plan.
Levels one and two provide a strong vibrant and active student hub, with the more ‘private’ corporate structure on upper levels providing flexible and high quality office research and innovation workplaces. The project comprises the development of a new campus building, recognizing the need to invest in the urban life of the University creating a combined campus marketplace, podium and forum.
The site’s inherent level changes provide exciting opportunities to create formal and informal landscaped environments linking together to create a ‘campus street’ filled with both active and passive places.
The rich architectural palette comprises a wonderful faceted concrete podium and a gold perforated aluminum sun-shading skin, folded and patterned with the feathers of the Carnaby Cockatoo.

The need for additional dedicated Liberal Arts space emerged during the planning process; thus two additional floors of research labs and office spaces for the College of Liberal Arts were incorporated into the overall design and are connected to the adjacent Liberal Arts Building via a sky bridge.
Addressing the lack of middle-scale outdoor spaces on campus the project integrates over 46,000 SF of landscaped courtyards fitted with electrical outlets and wireless internet, creating places for dining, studying, and gathering outdoors
the rooftop terrace and provides students a space for quiet reflection throughout the day
