The Monash Science Centre is a multi-use educational facility established and operated by Monash University at its Clayton campus. The building is intended to serve as common ground to bring research scientists and primary and secondary school students together, encouraging their interaction and promoting an exchange of ideas and information. Unlike most university facilities, the Science Centre is open to the general public seven days a week, year round, with the Exhibition spaces displaying travelling exhibitions from around the world. The building is set into an open site in a east-west aligned, clearly articulated arrangement of its three basic components: an exhibition hall, a teaching wing and a linking lobby and circulation spine. Ecologically Sustainable Design was a fundamental premise of the brief for this project. An environmentally responsible outcome has been achieved while keeping project costs within a conventional construction range. #2003 #architecture #Australia #awards #Boag #Clayton #institute #Institutional #Monash_Science_Center #RAIA #VIC #Williams
