LATROBE
UNIVERSITY ENGINEERING BUILDING
The Engineering Building is a
5,000m2 4-storey structure containing Computer Teaching
Laboratories, Workshops, Research Laboratories, Electronics,
Optical and Biomedical Laboratories in conjunction with
accommodation for professionals and staff. Backup service
facilities are also provided within the complex.
The structure is generally of
reinforced concrete with post-tensioned floor slabs, producing a
building with an aesthetic consistent with the Campus Master Plan
requirements. The 2-storey freestanding Central Teaching Complex is
linked to the Physical Sciences Building by means of an open
“bridge”.
The angular facades create a
point of focus among the more formal buildings that flank it and
the walls enclosing the lecture theatres are clad primarily in
Luxalon, complementing the precisely detailed brick and concrete
finishes of the adjoining complex.
