Designing for Projected Growth
Community
• Projected faculty growth: 450 in 2022 • Building will be used by other faculties, namely the science, agricultural faculty to hold some of their classes. • Case for expansion: the Melbourne School of Design was designed for a capacity of 1700 students, it currently has approximately 2500 students using the space, not all from the school of design. It has already exceeded design capacity.

Concept Research “Effective sustainable design and development combines both lessening and avoiding adverse impacts on natural systems, as well as enhancing human health, productivity, and physical and mental well-being through fostering beneficial connections to nature.” (Baldwin 2011) “Biophilic design aims to create landscapes that enhance human physical and mental health and productivity by fostering beneficial connections between people and nature in places of cultural and ecological significance.” (Kellert 2008) “Social, psychological, and health benefits of interacting with healthy and functioning natural environments include reducing stress, pain, and depression (Hartig 2008); enhancing physical and mental resilience and health (Hartig1991, Frumkin 2003); improving childhood development, attention, and academic performance.” (Kahn and Kellert 2002)
