Research House is a new academic office building housing two research groups, providing office space for 54 academic staff; a range of formal and informal meeting and breakout spaces giving the best opportunity for interaction between academics, research students and staff; and supporting print and IT spaces and amenities. Research House has been designed over split levels to give best opportunity for access on the sloping site. Together with the parallel existing Building 28, the new building completed the latest in a sequence of landscape courtyards. Office and open plan spaces are given views out to this landscape and beyond out over the city of Wagga Wagga, while openings to the west are limited to reduce summer heat gain.
