A space for future growth, founded on a strong legacy

 

The new Sibyl Centre is complete with a multi-purpose room and state-of-the-art student facilities to host social activities, lectures, performances, conferences, and general leisure. The renovation project was staged progressively to minimize disruption to students and faculty members. The vision: a contemporary, well-designed space that could adapt to changing needs. The architect team pursued this vision with a commitment to respecting the building’s original design. 

 

They created a balance between the heritage-listed architecture and modern, state-of-the-art facilities. Our iconic 40/4 chair was chosen for its supreme stackability; with a dolly, students and staff can relocate multiple chairs at once with a simple push. The team chose a beautiful aubergine colour and chrome frame to harmonize with the Sibyl centre’s aesthetic. The chairs contribute to the university’s undeniable legacy.
