Case Study - Victoria University Construction Future
Ampelite Australia
The building is spread over two-levels of
12,000m2, with a form that expresses the progressive nature of the construction industry. Lexan Thermoclick completely covers the Southern, Eastern and Western facades including the truck size horizontal bi-fold doors. The skylights are also Ampelite
Thermal Skylight which contributes notably to the abundance of natural light. The design provides a loose-fit long-life shell
that responds to and caters for changing
course programmes by maximising flexible
spaces and incorporating innovative and
sustainable materials. The building was awarded a 6 Star Green Star rating due to its embedded sustainability measures including optimised day lighting through highly insulated facades; a mix of passive and active ventilation; and temperature control systems.
