University of Sydney - Life, Earth & Environmental Sciences Facility

MGP were excited to be part of the team that worked on the construction of the new Life, Earth and Environmental Sciences facility at the University of Sydney. The nature of the building and the Science facility provides an opportunity for the construction team to use materials and systems that are sustainable and have a minimal impact on the environment. 

From a hydraulic perspective not only will materials be carefully selected but the multiple water systems involved; supplying drinking water, non drinking water, will also include reverse and flow osmosis technology for pure water for the research laboratories. Lab waste will require a specialised drainage system involving pre-treatment before entering the main Sydney Water system.  MGP also proposed symphonic drainage as this system provides flexibility as it doesn’t have the constraints associated with a proprietary system and its associated costs.

MGP designed the fire hydrant, hose reel and storage, ensuring they comply with the National Construction Code of Australia (NCC).

UTS – Broadway Building

The Facility of Engineering and Information Technology is an innovative 14-storey structure, which accommodates 4,300 students and 500 staff.

With 23,500sqm of usable floor space, it provides students and academics with interactive breakout spaces. A wide podium on levels 3-7 overlooks Broadway and Alumni Green, houses the bulk of the social student focused areas including UTS Library, scholarly reading rooms, learning commons, collaborative classrooms, theatres and Student Services Hub. Level 9 above the podium accommodates additional research spaces, presenting as a twisting rotating external form reaching upwards.

MGP’s role in this development was to design and provide hydraulic services with special requirements including rainwater re-use and urinal waste storage to extract phosphate for agriculture/fertiliser research.
