Murdoch University Campus Tour - B360
Starting at the Welcome Space and travelling through all four levels, the tour traces how sustainability is woven through every aspect of the building. We'll get up close to Western Australia's largest Mass Engineered Timber structure and discuss the integrated solar, passive ventilation, rainwater harvesting, and responsive native landscaping that settles the building into Murdoch University's bushland campus.
Along the way we'll explore the building's Connection to Country and what it means to design a space that genuinely reflects the land it stands on, which has been a place of learning for tens of thousands of years.
