SHORT FORM TEXT
Bringing a stunning world class facility to Regional Victoria.
Developed around the IBM Watson IoT Munich model, this extension to Building T at the School of Mines Ballarat Campus provides both students and industry with a large multi-purpose space for the dynamic display of technology-based project work. This space and adjoining areas will also allow for the collaborative development of industry-led research, supporting a cornerstone of the University’s strategic plan.
The exterior design harmoniously mirrors that of the existing structure, incorporating elements such as face brickwork, lightweight cladding, and aluminium-framed glazing.
Adding a touch of sophistication and functionality, a stainless steel mesh screen elegantly curves and envelops the glazing, serving both as a sun shading solution and an aesthetically distinctive feature for the specialised space within. This innovative screen not only enhances the visual appeal but also aligns with the organic essence of the educational objectives envisioned for the Watson IoT space.
The versatile workspace is equipped with features to facilitate collaborative project work and communication across diverse project scales and types. This dynamic environment boasts a generously-sized LED display, ideal for presenting project information and facilitating large-scale video conferences for groups.
