The Faculty’s new home is a purpose-built, studio-focussed facility for contemporary courses in Architecture, Building and Planning, an outcome of an open call for expressions of interest from architectural firms worldwide. Melbourne’s John Wardle Architects and Boston firm NADAAA combined their expertise to deliver the winning design.The Japanese Room and the Joseph Reed façade, key features from the previous building, are incorporated into the new building.
