This is one of those rare collaborations that actually works: a partnership between UniSA, the City of Salisbury, the SA Department of Education and Children's Services, and the Mawson Lakes Joint Venture.

All these partners share the desire to see Mawson Lakes grow as a community for the future: environmentally efficient, socially integrated and focused on lifelong learning.

Guida Moseley Brown (GMB) Architects and Russell and Yelland Architects, in association, embraced the design challenge with a building that is environmentally and operationally efficient, and has great presence while still being open, inviting and vibrant.
