Arts Building

Project Detail

The Arts Building was opened in 1978 and designed by architects ABK.

Since opening, it has been the home of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. The Arts Building is the biggest building on campus and has some of the largest lecture theatres.

Over two years the building received some cosmetic upgrades which has greatly enhanced the open areas and corridors. As it approached its 50th anniversary we upgraded part of the main electrical system that has served the building so well over the years.

The design consultants for this project were J. V Tierney who have long been associated with design in some of our most historic buildings in college.

While the works will not be visible to most people, it was part of the buildings critical electrical infrastructure which will meet the requirements of the building users well into the future.
