COX RAYNER ARCHITECTS GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY GOLD COAST CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 2013 > VOLUME 2: GRIFFITH GOLD COAST MASTER PLAN MEDIUM TERM MASTER PLAN 49 2.3 BUILT ENVIRONMENT

By the time that the Medium Term Master Plan is realised, the campus will have the look and feel of an urban campus. Much will depend on the quality of architecture and the building’s sense of permanence, shifting away from the lightweight framed architecture of the past. The table of indicative heights provided on the preceding page suggests an average height of 6-10 storeys in order to reflect the desire to create a more urban campus, and this scale is intended to balance the area and proportions of the courtyards and other open spaces between the buildings. There is, nevertheless, no suggested height limit and heights of some buildings could be substantially increased, particularly as the adjoining Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct develops.

The diagram at left illustrates the open spaces, which would be upgraded in parallel with building development, creating multiple lateral connections across the campus and to the longitudinal campus spine. The diagram is intended to reinforce that whenever a new building is developed, its adjoining space should form an integral part of the project. Also illustrated are the primary lines of pedestrian movement that should be prioritised in order to strengthen the structure of the master plan.

The main pedestrian spine is the main conduit which runs through the centre of the campus connecting the eastern entrance with the Aquatic and Fitness Centre. It encapsulates the Main Campus Heart and East Campus Heart, unifying the ground plane, creating legibility and a sense of human scale throughout the campus. The pavement is a robust, large format dark stone while a Queensland native tree species with a red flower such as the Weeping Bottlebrush & NSW Christmas Bush will create a spine of vivid colour. The Spear Lily plant with it’s spectacular NSW Christmas Bush Weeping Bottlebrush Spear Lily flower acts as a accent feature.

The East Campus Heart is a central meeting point in the eastern half of the campus. It is where the eastern entry meets with the Smith Street overpass entry and the campus pedestrian spine. It is a multi-level meeting point which provides an excellent vantage point from where to orientate yourself. Signature plants include the Doryanthes excelsea (Gymea Lily) which provides a unique vertical element to the planting palette along with Adiantum hispidulum (Rough Maidenhair Fern) which sits nestled in the shaded pockets of planting.

The Environmental Reserve is the most important character of the campus, it is made up of a variety of native, endemic and scientifically significant plant species. It provides the urban fabric of the campus with a natural backdrop which is full of an abundance of wildlife. The Griffith campus is a locally significant site due to the educational values it has. Tree species such as Acacias, Eucalypts and Angophoras create a unique natural character which the Griffith Gold Coast University campus is renowned for. Acacia species Eucalypt species

The character of the planting palette is to be used as the first step in identifying an appropriate response to the planting design of the campus and its surrounds. The character of the planting design speaks directly to the site planning of the campus and how planting characters can be used to assist in way finding and campus legibility.

ornamental 1 A planting palette that is characterised by its diversity in foliage, form and flower colour. The ornamental planting palette is applicable to campus nodes, plazas and places of social gathering or significance where colour, visual interest and sophistication are essential for way finding, defining space and complimenting the built environment.

Coloured foliage Colour and texture Glossy leaves Vibrant flowers

Stone pavement Lighting Concrete seating Seating (image: Cox Rayner)

semi-natural 2 A planting palette that is characterised by a mix of predominantly native and site-endemic species. The semi-natural planting palette is applicable to pedestrian movement corridors and linkage conduits where a robust and semi-self maintaining landscape is required to flourish amongst everyday campus activity.

natural 3 A planting palette that is characterised by its exclusive use of a diverse range of native and endemic species of the greater gold coast region. The natural planting palette is applicable to any zones that are not defined as being ornamental or semi-natural and where the lowest maintenance requirements of the campus would be applicable. This would include but is not limited to vegetation protection, re-vegetation and succession planting strategies.

GROWS AT GRIFFITH APPENDIX 1 95

95 GROWS AT GRIFFITH

GrowsAtGriffith is a teaching application developed by Associate Professor Catherine Pickering and PhD student Mark Ballantyne, and built in collaboration with Griffith’s INS Learning and Teaching Team. It provides an interactive flora database of 200 plants on the Griffith University campuses and more broadly across South East Queensland. The knowledge that generated this app has been utilised in detail to inform the Landscape Strategy for the Master Plan, both in terms of species and major principles, including conserving existing native vegetation and rehabilitating native vegetation with planting of species endemic to the campus. Other key principles taken from the app development are listed below.

Gardens

Avoid overuse of fast growing, but minor exceptions). example making grand statements at the conditions on campus e.g. some areas have sometimes short-lived species (Acacias main campus entrances and around Griffith rainforest, riverine, heath, dry Eucalyptus etc) by mixing with slower growing but 2. Priorities using attractive natives to site signage with vivid displays of Griffith forest, coastal microclimates.

APPENDIX 2 REFURBISHING PAINTING AND 99

99 PAINTING AND REFURBISHING FORMER CAE BUILDINGS G01, G05, G06

It is proposed to refresh the three former CAE buildings in the short term. As these buildings are intended to be progressively demolished and replaced by new buildings in the medium-long term, the revitalization is limited to external painting and a refurbishment of a selected number of social spaces with new furniture and paving.

The following pages illustrate three closely related but different colour schemes for the three buildings. The intention is to subtly distinguish the buildings with the three palettes.

There has been discussion as to whether the awnings could be removed in order to simplify the aesthetic. However, Campus Life have advised that they need to remain to prevent heat discomfort inside the buildings. As replacement with new awnings is likely to be expensive, it is proposed to only replace the sheeting and retain the support structure. Colour schemes are included for the structure and awnings, with a recommendation that the underside of the sheet material is painted a dark charcoal to camouflage potential mildew.

In addition to repainting, it is proposed to upgrade some of the external spaces where building users could meet socially and some of the entrance foyers and stairwells in order to encourage internal social activity. The external space refurbishments are considered a priority for the new Derlot-designed outdoor seats and table settings, and other changes which need to be designed. Schemes will also be required for the internal refurbishments, including painting, furniture, artwork and possibly floor treatments. These changes, albeit minimal, will have a dramatic influence on the sense of welcome of the buildings Sky Bluescheme
