The Information Resource Centre is a multi-functional education facility for the 21st century, contemporary and bold in its architectural expression, but respectful of its adjacent historic buildings in form, scale and reference. The rhythmic vertical fin and building form are juxtaposed with the curves, void and volumes of the interiors. A clean and refined palette of materials and resolution of detail further enhances the experience. A range of distinct learning environments inspire, stimulate and encourage open and enquiring minds.
