a state-of-the-art facility
The architectural firm that was appointed to design and facilitate the construction of the new Engineering 4.0 facility – the ARC Group – is no stranger to the high demands of a state-ofthe-art facility such as Engineering 4.0. With Anton de Jongh at the helm, this consultancy was responsible for the design of the University’s Engineering 3 Building and Parkade for the Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology in 2011, as well as the awardwinning Mining Industry Study Centre on the University’s Hatfield Campus in 2013. The design team at ARC has taken a sensitive approach to educational and commercial developments on the African continent over the years, keeping the specific needs of their clients in mind. 22
