Gateway to Sydney

The Broadway Building for UTS will add another key landmark to a major inner-city development.

May 18th, 2011

The Broadway Building will house the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), and will be a collaboration between architects Denton Corker Marshall and builders Lend Lease.

The 44,000 sqm building will occupy the southern edge of the UTS campus, striking an imposing presence at what UTS Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Resources) Patrick Woods describes as “the intersection of 2 key arterial roads… an entry point to the Sydney CBD”.

Key features of the design are a façade made of aluminium screens and a light-flooded atrium running through the building’s centre.

The UTS Broadway Building will be home to 4,000 students and 1,000 staff and is a key component of the UTS City Campus Master Plan, a $1 billion project set to inject more life into Sydney’s southern CBD.

The Broadway Building is due for completion in late 2013.

WORKPLACE :: A @Millikenfloorsanz carpet sample pr

WORKPLACE :: A @Millikenfloorsanz carpet sample provided inspiration for the colourful fit-out of the Ultimate Security head office in Sydney. @inspiredspacesaus and Milliken closely collaborated to bring the vibrant vision to life.

Inspiration can sometimes spring from surprising places – and for the vibrant fit-out for the new Ultimate Security headquarters in Sydney’s Concord, it came from a Milliken carpet sample. The brief to interior design studio Inspired Spaces was to create an open-plan workplace to serve the company both now and in the future, with additional space that would be attractive as a leasing destination and allow for expansion.

The result is a visually exciting scheme across the 2,000-square-metre space, elevated through a bold approach to colour. The monochromatic backdrop – think greys and whites offset by graphic black crittal-style window frames and shelving for verdant greenery – comes to life through pops of warm oranges, yellow, and reds that echo the colours in the Milliken carpet.

Milliken’s Creo range evokes the famous street art of Brazil and – in keeping with the company’s focus on giving designers choices that allow them to express themselves – is offered in three colourways and three pattern families.
