The F07 Life, Earth and Environmental Sciences Building (LEES1), designed by HDR Rice Daubney, and the F23 Administration Building, designed by Grimshaw Architects, will define a new campus gateway at the City Road entrance to the Camperdown campus.
LEES1 will co-locate teaching, research and faculty accommodation for the new School of Life and Environmental Sciences and will house research laboratories as well as support and dry workplaces.
The five-storey F23 Administration Building will consolidate existing executive staff and administrative functions that are currently fragmented across the university campus.
The three buildings at the university’s Camperdown campus are part of the University of Sydney’s $1.4-billion Campus Improvement Program, that has seen a number of buildings already completed.
The University of Sydney Business School outlined in the Campus Improvement Program was completed in 2015 and opened in 2016. The pre-novation architecture and interiors were designed by Woods Bagot and post-novation architecture was designed by Kann Finch with post-novation interiors designed by Kann Finch and Carr Design.
The Queen Mary Building Student Accommodation and Abercrombie Student Accommodation, designed by Nettleton Tribe Architects, were completed in July 2015 and March 2016, respectively.
The University of Sydney has lodged proposals for an additional four new buildings with the NSW Department of Planning and Environment.
