Refurbishment of the 156-seat ESJ Lecture Theatre ($290K) and conversion of the FWJ Theatre ($450K) into a stepped-tier collaborative teaching & learning space with capacity for 42. Staged AV implementation allowing reuse of current AV and adaption to Blended Synchronised Learning (BSL) capability.

The project featured development of a prototype conversion of a raking floor lecture theatre into a stepped-tiered arrangement, allowing collaborative student work and maintaining good front-of-room AV presentation focus via a ‘cabaret style’ table and chairs arrangement.
