Furniture and Biodiversity builds
Purpose: The project will really define what the study hub has become to all the people who have been involved in and followed the project. It will reflect the values, ambitions and changed perspectives that have resulted from all the placemaking activities along Tin Alley and not just at the study hub.
Intervention
Custom furniture and design of greater biodiversity within the study hub will happen with the strong team of community members and stakeholders that have been brought together throughout the project. This may include digging up the pavement for planting and moving the bike racks, as well as flexible furniture.
Sensitive to Nature
The increase of biodiversity will be part of BSUD by using sensitive public landscape to create habitats and resources for small animals and insects (Weber et al, 2014), creating a connection of green spaces along the Tin Alley.
Who is involved?
ABPL Faculty Staff, or Ex Lab or Fab Lab (possibly run a subject that designs and build the furniture and another class that will design the landscaping). Students Local Aboriginal Leaders/Representatives Biodiversity Representatives

Corona Virus Response
Custom furniture will be designed with planting to create a ‘soft’ and calming barrier between people, to ensure adequate physical distancing whilst also providing opportunities for greenery.
