NBRS ARCHITECTURE has transformed one of the oldest structures on Macquarie University’s campus – the Faculty of Science and Engineering’s Mitchell building. The project implements a new style of working space for academics that has the dual function of providing areas for individual research, as well as promoting collective and collaborative learning.

The vision for the refurbishment was to create an energy and space efficient contemporary workspace that encourages collaboration whilst respecting the historical, social and aesthetic significance of the building.

By revitalising the existing fabric NBRS enhanced the appearance of the building, improved street presence and created a sense of arrival to the University’s main courtyard.
