This plan developed from the master plan, zoning and campus circulation strategies.
The well placed theatre and strongly curved brick administration blocks lead to the entrance of the new campus. The architectural language of the various new buildings draws strong contextual reference from the surrounding woodland area. The single mast bridge support whcich dominates the height of the surrounding buildings accentuates the importance of this urban element.
Architects' Comments
The design of Phase I new campus buildings evolved in the context of a masterplan designed to create an academic urban environment whilst respecting and integrating with its mature woodland setting.
