Deakin Network Engineering

About This Project

Cotter Reid Architects were asked by Deakin University to assist in rationalising facilities within two existing buildings by switching the locations of an existing Biology Wet Research Laboratory and Network Engineering Laboratory and provide a fully refurbished space for each. The Network Engineering Lab is a interactive teaching space which requires opportunities for students to work individually and in pairs, with a mix of computers and electronic devices. The allocated space for this facility was quite modest but a simple device of cranking the desk shapes provided a straightforward and cost-effective solution.
