The Brief
The University of Queensland (UQ) sought a beautiful, functional workspace on Level 4 of the Gordon Greenwood Building, embodying a gallery-like atmosphere that would reflect the university’s commitment to showcasing art and antiquities. The space needed to be versatile, providing quiet work areas and flexible use for events. To meet these requirements, UQ required a builder with expertise in refurbishing occupied spaces, as the campus would remain fully operational during construction. Precision in design and construction, including custom storage and display solutions for valuable artworks, were central to UQ’s vision, as was ensuring the project stayed on time and on budget.
Our contribution
Working with UQ’s design team, we developed bespoke joinery, lighting, and soundproofing solutions that balanced aesthetics and functionality, ensuring the space met the university’s diverse needs. Our team carefully navigated the complexities of delivering this project in a live environment, implementing rigorous safety protocols to minimize disruption to campus activities.
Our approach also included phased demolition and reconstruction of the existing office spaces, transforming them into equitable, soundproofed areas that support quiet work. Each stage was meticulously managed to ensure the project progressed smoothly, achieving UQ’s goals without compromising safety or budget.
The remarkable project outcome
Delivered on time and within budget, our team provided UQ with a functional, sophisticated space that exceeded the brief’s requirements. The gallery-inspired communal area offers a refined environment for quiet work or gatherings, supported by custom lighting and soundproofing that bring an air of elegance and serenity. Successfully delivered in a live campus environment, this project stands as a testament to our commitment to quality, showcasing our capability to meet client expectations with precision and adaptability in challenging settings.
