Swinburne University Advanced Manufacturing and Design Centre

Swinburne University's latest addition to its sustainable building stock is the highly anticipated, 11-storey Advanced Manufacturing and Design Centre - a showpiece of the university's Hawthorn campus in Melbourne's inner east.

swinburne university Project Overview

Designed and engineered by Jacobs SKM in association with UK architectural firm Wilkinson Eyre Architects, the Centre - which opened in July 2014 - accommodates Swinburne's Faculty of Design and the Faculty of the Future.

No surprises, therefore, that this impressive building features many environmentally sustainable design elements including an underfloor air distribution (UFAD) system, active chilled beams, a 230kWe gas-fired trigeneration plant and rainwater and greywater harvesting and reuse.

These have all contributed to the building achieving a 5 star Green Star - Education Design rating.

But it is the clever use of phase-change material (PCM) - an emerging technology in the HVAC&R field - that sets this building apart.
