Brisbane's Ecosciences Precinct



The dynamic Ecosciences Precinct in Brisbane is home to over 1,000 scientists from various government agencies in Queensland all working at the forefront of climate change and environmental research. Designed by HASSELL, the eco laboratory is also on the cutting edge of energy efficient and sustainable design. In collaboration with a team from Arup, HASSELL developed a sustainability rating tool for the project measuring factors in laboratories that were previously not addressed by existing Australian Green Building Council tools. The 4 Star Green Star rated multi-disciplinary science laboratory now serves as a model for all new labs in Australia.
