"University of Queensland Gatton Campus Heart & Entry project revitalises an underutilized historic spine within the university core by enhancing links between historic and contemporary fabric and providing a clear order of arrival sequences through the new endemic landscape. Simple yet grounded, the works celebrates the rural context, campus history and sensitively references the First Nation peoples- relationship with its early ecology and landscape. The pragmatic solution of adjusting site levels for equitable access and replacing hard landscape pavement with curated lawns, resulting in well shaded edges for respite and providing interstitial space between spine and existing built form. A pair of new neatly detailed pavilions franks the spine, highlighting the arrival points to existing buildings. The pavilions introduce protected outdoor gathering and learning spaces, providing the seamless integration of architecture and landscape. The palette of materials, finishes, and furniture elements complements the existing built form and references the existing brutalist buildings. This successful project is commended for its restrained, considered, and understated approach in providing a climatically responsive and functional solution in parallel with bringing life back into the heart of the campus, reinforcing the historic central axis and strengthening the campus identity."
