University of Newcastle New Space
New Space is a landmark education precinct in the heart of Newcastle’s CBD. This fabulously contemporary building, designed by Lyons Architecture Melbourne in conjunction with EJE Architecture Newcastle, created a community campus through not only learning spaces but also social spaces with an open café located right on Hunter Street.
This 10 storey building was designed to maximise the commanding views to surrounding landmarks with views through to Stockton, across the harbour and up to The Hill.
New Space’s smart design has been awarded 5 green stars. With a focus on sustainability and minimising energy consumption, features of the building include external sun shading through the use of gold anodised panels and high performance double glazing.
Universal Anodisers is proud to have been the selected Anodiser for the aluminium pop-outs and fins on the building façade. The coloured glass creates a stunning backdrop to showcase the gold fins and pop-outs. The anodised colours are UA’s Satin Doeskin and Satin Oriental Gold. Anodising will provide longevity due to anodising being integral to the aluminium the beauty and lustre of this finish will remain as spectacular over time.
