University of the Sunshine Coast Moreton Bay Stage 2
Cottee Parker Architects are delighted to be working for BADGE Construction to deliver the Moreton Bay Stage 2 facilities for our client, University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC). Our role on the project commenced in late 2021 with a series of consultative and inclusive workshops that involved UniSC, Turner & Townsend, and the entire BADGE construction and consultant team.
The Mass Engineered Timber frames for the three buildings are provided by HESS and XLAM. From the outset, the precise nature and early procurement of the Glue Laminated and Cross Laminated timber frames required highly detailed structural and services coordination. Cottee Parker facilitated this process with our in-house BIM team and federated models using Solibri for clash detection, federation and client presentation. Our collaborative process also enabled Cottee Parker to assist BADGE with the finalisation of a number of key UniSC stakeholder reviews, adjustments and signoff approvals for the project. Utilising coordinated BIM models and UniSC’s own 3D virtual reality studio to review the project greatly assisted this important phase of the project.
