10 AAPPA HISTORY CASE STUDY FOUR University of New South Wales, The Scientia In Sydney, a major work of ceremonial architecture, The Scientia, has transformed the University of New South Wales Campus. The Scientia, awarded the Sir Zelman Cowen Award for Public Buildings by the Royal Australian Institute of Architects, was designed to embody the progressive spirit of the University. It creates a place of spontaneous gathering of ceremonial focus for the University and the wider community. Making the award, the Jury commented that The Scientia had given the campus a ‘remarkably poetic and emblematic focus’. ‘The Scientia is a rare highly refined work whose language is international yet whose varying and changeable transparencies are both elegantly rational and pragmatically Australian. The University of New South Wales and the Sydney metropolis are privileged by this consummate work of public architecture.’ Photographs: John Grollings AAPPA HISTORY 11
12 AAPPA HISTORY CASE STUDY FIVE Griffith University, Logan Campus In Queensland, Griffith University has developed a new paradigm for its Logan Campus – moving away from the context of comfortable convention at its other campuses. To meet the new age of information technology and its impact on the way students learn, Griffith’s experts stopped thinking about higher education as a ‘place’. Mr Sam Ragusa, the University’s Director of the Office of <strong>Facilities</strong> <strong>Management</strong>, said in developing the Logan Campus their goal was to create facilities capable of serving as teaching instruments accessible to students both on and off campus. He said: ‘The new learners want to be able to start a course at any time of the year, progress at their own rate, access material from home or office, or even on the campus at any time of day or night, and complete assessments when they believe they are competent in the subject matter.’ On the Logan Campus lecture theatres are rarely used for undergraduate classes. Web-based learning enables the delivery of learning resources to many locations where students can learn at their own pace or gather in small groups to discuss the topic and talk with the lecturer and other students either locally or across cyberspace. Digitised documents, data and other resources are transmitted simultaneously. The remote locations can be other rooms on campus, in schools or community libraries, training rooms in corporations or factories or individual internet-linked workstations at home or in the office.
