The 12-storey tower will provide teaching, learning, research and office accommodation for 1,300 students and 300 academic staff. The Building design by Frank Gehry is based on the idea of a tree-house structure which is something that results in little repetition in floor designs in this project. The building will have two distinct external facades, one composed of undulating brick, referencing the sandstone and the dignity of Sydney’s urban brick heritage, and the other of large, angled sheets of glass to fracture and mirror the image of surrounding buildings.
