CSU building up for major architecture award

29 APRIL 2013

A Charles Sturt University (CSU) building has been short-listed for an international design award. The School of Dentistry and Health Sciences building at CSU in Wagga Wagga is one of six buildings short-listed for World Architecture WAN AWARDS Education Sector 2013. Opened in 2009 for the University’s new oral health and dentistry program, the building was designed by Brewster Hjorth Architects. The international jury found  the School of Dentistry and Health Sciences building was a “modest design with a strong connection to the site. The project created a sense of locality and identity by using local materials and translating the surrounding typography into the architecture. The circulation and learning spaces were thought to have created a fascinating place to learn”. The other buildings short-listed for the WAN AWARDS Education Sector 2013 are in Angola, Canada, Portugal and the United Kingdom (UK).The winner will be announced on Tuesday 30 April.
