Blending innovation and heritage
Architectus designed a vertical campus for Walker Corporation and Flinders University within the Festival One Tower in Adelaide's Riverbank precinct to establish a new identity for Flinders University.
This space, dubbed "The Tower," is a learning, collaboration, and innovation hub.
Across its eight levels, the campus prioritises flexibility and connectivity. It offers a range of learning and teaching spaces, student study areas, a library, staff workspaces, and outdoor terraces.
The Festival Tower holds cultural significance as a Kaurna meeting place for its historical Climbing Tree. Architectus integrated the natural surroundings and Climbing Tree into the design, using timber forms and materials throughout the space.
One notable feature is the DecorSlat Create system installed in the ceiling, which adds warmth to the space. The timber slats also pay homage to the area's history and Indigenous heritage.
Slat Create has a seamless design feature that allows the ceiling to appear expansive and ever-going. This mirage opens the space, making the room feel expansive.
The vertical campus fosters a conducive environment for academic pursuits and honours the local culture and environment.
Decor Systems is once again proud to have been selected as a supplier.
