Expansion and Renovation

The College of Law, part of the esteemed Australian National University, consists of three interconnected buildings situated within the university’s historic campus, surrounding a central courtyard.

A comprehensive renovation project was undertaken to enhance the original 8000m² building and add 2000m² of new teaching facilities. The goal was to improve amenities, expand capacity, and enrich the educational offerings of the college. This included the creation of a modern, adaptable Moot Court, flexible teaching areas, a student hub connecting to existing lecture halls, social spaces for collaboration, and a rejuvenated courtyard for events and relaxation.

The aim of the College of Law’s redevelopment was to honour the site’s heritage while integrating cutting-edge teaching spaces, communal areas, academic offices, and administrative facilities. This upgrade elevates the college to the standards expected of a prestigious university institution.

All in the Angles

Different to the usual flat ceiling approach, the ANU Law School entrance foyer and common area features a faceted ceiling lined with Australian Ash Click-on Battens. Some grids sit flush with the ceiling, whereas others are angled into the ceiling, creating depth, texture and heightening acoustic absorption characteristics.

Substrates of the ceiling were built to altering angles, and the addition of Click-on Battens to these areas creates texture and further intrigue to the design.
