Australian University project for Haworth Tompkins 21.06.21

Haworth Tompkins are working with Perth-based Edith Cowan University on their City Campus project. We are assisting Lyons, our Australian partners, with the strategic masterplan of the whole scheme, and focusing on the new home for the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) within the City Campus. Every year students, staff and guest artists collaborate to present over 300 public performances at WAAPA – more productions than any other arts training institution in Australia. To accommodate this, the venue will include multiple performance spaces for the range of disciplines studied, as well as foyers, bars, rehearsal rooms, and the associated production and design spaces. The teaching spaces allow for practice rooms, editing suites, studios and everything else that contributes to the students’ learning experience. Construction will begin next year and completion is anticipated in 2025.
