UNSW took home multiple 2019 Excellence in Construction awards at the Master Builder’s Association (MBA) of NSW awards last week.
Among the celebrated developments were major building projects such as the Science and Engineering Building, the refurbished Electrical Engineering Building and the refurbished Biological Sciences North building. The Lounge on Level 11 of the library also picked up an award.
The wins celebrate the University’s commitment to significantly investing in world class research and teaching facilities and mark a milestone for UNSW as it positions itself as Australia’s global university.
A key component of the 2025 Strategy is to invest in core research infrastructure and expand the scale and capability of existing facilities in order to deliver research and teaching performance at the highest level.
“The commitment of UNSW Estate Management staff to lead the development of these great outcomes has seen a tremendous uplift to the enablement of research and teaching at UNSW as well as the sense of place and community we are creating,” said Deputy Vice-President of Finance and Operations Jeff Peers. “We are proud to play such a significant part in UNSW’s journey.”
