As an innovative vertical campus, Wurun Senior Campus offers a flexible and welcoming environment fostering interdisciplinary learning. Reimagining a typical stacked floor plan to fit a restricted site, the design resolves city and suburban grids. Cascading landscaped terraces connect to indoor learning spaces on each level and provide access to natural light, air, views and greenery. The performative façade optimises daylight, views, glare and energy efficiency. An internal ‘street’ winds through the building, connecting adaptable learning spaces to support community and student needs.
