Material and Design Choices

Across Levels 2, 3, and 5, the college’s ceiling spaces are elevated by the warm tones and structural versatility of Blackbutt timber Click-on battens. Timber was selected for its natural appeal and acoustic benefits, bringing a sense of warmth that offsets the modern structure’s clean lines and extensive use of glass.

Each area on Level 3, from the Sports Science Workshop and Theory Room to the Innovation Workshop and Collaboration Space, showcases our 30mm x 60mm block profile battens with 32mm gaps.

The Void space on Level 5, leverages the same 30mm x 60mm Blackbutt battens to connect visually with Level 3, providing an open, airy aesthetic that blends with the collaborative areas below.

On Level 2, the Fitness Gym features a more streamlined 30mm x 19mm profile, adding a subtle variation that maintains consistency in the overall design theme.

Function Meets Aesthetic

In these education spaces, the natural Blackbutt timber battens are more than just a design choice. Their sustainability, ensured by PEFC certification, aligns with the college’s values while offering acoustics and warmth conducive to both study and collaborative work. By applying the battens across various learning and innovation zones, the college creates an integrated and inspiring setting for students and faculty alike.
