South Australia’s Architecture Awards have again acknowledged excellence in public architecture within the education sector
June 19th, 2013
The University of Adelaide’s new research hub, The Bragg, has taken top honours at the annual Australian Institute of Architects state level awards. BVN Donovan Hill in association with Hames Sharley took out the prestigious Jack McConnell Award for Public Architecture, the jury applauding the building’s clear concept drawn from the research programs it houses.

Again, a logical and conceptual approach was commended, with the use of steel to accentuate geometry and deliver a cost effective, landmark facility that worked within local government and budgetary constraints.
