PORTFOLIO PORTFOLIO PROJECT PROJECT EXPERIENCE EXPERIENCE

Central Institute of Technology Perth, Western Australia The Central Institute of Technology project consists of a 2,500m2 refurbishment of existing library and support spaces. The design includes new flexible teaching spaces, dynamic casual breakout areas and support spaces. Along with these elements a new stair connecting Level 1 and Level 2 was incorporated, linking the new fit-out with the existing student services facility. The interconnecting stair now joins pivotal circulation spaces, whilst also alleviating congestion issues experienced with the existing lifts. A new entry is also provided adjoining the stair, creating a strong link from Museum Street through to the spaces on Level 2.
