Award of Merit - New Buildings
The Mawson Centre
by Russell & Yelland Architects / Guida Moseley Brown Architects, in
association
MARSON CENTRE
The Mawson Centre accommodates a broad range of University and community
functions, including: 255 seat theatre, 24/7 computer barn, University
tutorial, case study and breakout rooms, shared community (City of Salisbury
and Mawson Lakes School) library, administrative and information centre for
the Mawson Lakes Education Service, administrative facilities for the UniSA
Divisional Office enclave and various exhibition spaces. The varied scope of
shared functions, use patterns and
the diverse nature of the users has led to a building of overlapping uses
and considerable flexibility. The building form was governed by the need to
offer a “civic presence” to the north, south and west, with strong
connections to the UniSA Garth Boomer Building directly to the east.
Although not a large building, The Mawson Centre had to be designed to
convey the civic and community nature of its functions and sympathetically
contrast with the shopping precinct to the west.
