Carumba Institute, Oodgeroo Unit, Elders & Community Space in B Block of the QUT Garden’s Point Campus.

This is a student facility upgrade with a focus on connection.

The objective of the Oodgeroo Unit at QUT Block B was to provide an engaging space for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander students to feel culturally safe and supported. This was translated into an open plan study environment, with various styles of collaborative settings, promoting cross collaboration and engagement between both students and staff. The staff area followed the same open plan methodology, Full height glazing provided the functional separation between the two spaces but maintained the visual connection between students and staff.

Maxton Fox partnered with Offiscape in Brisbane to work closely with the design and project team, along with QUT in delivering our Leader Sit to Stand workstation systems throughout the Oodgeroo Unit.
