ACU Psychology Labs

ACU’s School of Psychology required dedicated research labs with testing and interview facilities as well as teaching spaces.  BigCity Design created a fresh, inviting, inclusive environment that minimises anxiety.

But the real challenge was converting heritage listed buildings into modern day teaching facilities; Without increasing the building envelope or demolishing internal structures, BigCity Design met the teaching brief whilst being sympathetic to the original structure.

“A number of our projects involve reuse of existing spaces (some over one hundred years old), or refurbishment for temporary use, pending future development of the site. BCD has a sound understanding of the requirements for base building, while appreciating the needs of stakeholders to have value for money and significantly rejuvenated learning spaces.”
