Edith Cowan University JO B31 Library Fit Out

EDITH COWAN UNIVERSITY, THROUGH THEIR IN HOUSE DESIGN TEAM UNDERTOOK THE STAGED REFURBISHMENT OF THE MAIN FLOOR OF THE STUDENT LIBRARY ON THE JOONDALUP CAMPUS. MANY DESIGN CONCEPTUAL ELEMENTS THAT MAY BE INTEGRATED INTO THE NEW CITY CAMPUS WERE TRIALED WITHIN THE REFURBISHMENT WHICH INCORPORATED A MULITZONE LAYOUT THAT FACILITATED A NEW OPEN PLAN CONCEPT ALLOWING SEEMLESS FLOW THROUGH MANY ACTIVITY SPECIFIC ZONES.

Features of this project include:

• Condensed programme undertaking works over the campus Christmas break with project completion in line with the campus orientation week in February.
• Intensive design input from subcontractors to facilitate conceptual design elements into activity specific working zones.
• Custom joinery items throughout formed a crucial element of the scope and facilitated many of the design concepts.
• High level of detailed partitioning systems utilised throughout, with many walls and ceiling bulkheads being curved. Additionally, a large number of ceiling mounted joinery items requiring extensive on site engineering
