Woodside Building for Technology and Design

Description

Honoured with Australia’s highest awards for sustainable architecture and public architecture at the 2021 National Architecture Awards, the Woodside Building for Technology and Design at Monash Clayton campus is a transformational facility for the faculties of Engineering and Information Technology. The 19,800sqm building enables new models of learning alongside academic research and administration and establishes precedent-setting environmental innovation. Amongst the largest Passivhaus certified education buildings in the world, Woodside is a key milestone in Monash’s Net Zero Strategy towards achieving carbon neutral by 2030.

As a ‘living lab’ it enables students to learn from their environment, with exposed building services, structural elements, and monitoring systems incorporated throughout. Developed in partnership with Woodside Energy, Woodside combines large-format, adaptable teaching spaces with advanced manufacturing laboratories for students and researchers to embrace innovation, design and cutting-edge technology in sustainable energy.

With this building and a deep commitment to social and sustainable outcomes, Monash intends to impart a global impact in academic and learning excellence in concurrence with environmental leadership and industry partnerships.
