The Institute of Applied Technology – Construction (IATC) is a dynamic learning hub at TAFE NSW’s Kingswood Campus, situated west of Sydney’s CBD.

Inspired by the progressive and democratic nature of pavilions in architecture, the project aims to exemplify how learning spaces can be both elevated and accessible. Nestled in a parkland setting, the IATC Pavilion fosters a sense of connectivity with its surroundings. Its unique design allows for circumnavigation, providing views into and out of the building.

State-of-the-art technology supports specialised laboratories and general learning spaces. The central atrium serves as a hub for social interaction, connecting breakout areas, cafes, and formal learning spaces.

Materiality is robust, featuring GRC facade panels, glass, steel, and timber accents. Flexible furnishings add warmth, and transparency is achieved through strategically stripped-back ceilings. The design prioritises sustainability, targeting Five-Star Green Star as-built certification. Internal ventilation, power generation, and greywater reuse systems contribute to the project’s environmental responsibility.
