School of Design & the Built Environment
The new facility for Curtin’s School of Design and the Built Environment (DBE) will be a landmark building for Curtin University’s Perth campus, sitting at the heart of the University’s dedicated innovation precinct.
The new building will contribute significantly to the vibrant University community, enabling world-class student engagement, learning and teaching, research, collaboration and industry partnerships.
The five-storey building has been designed to serve as a living laboratory and teaching tool. In addition to supporting DBE’s learning and teaching program, it will also be home to the School’s professional and academic staff and complementary commercial tenants. A large central courtyard will link adjacent activities of the Makerspace, Collaboration Hub and Exhibition spaces located at ground level.
