Located at the Deakin University Burwood Campus, the Exercise and Sports Science Building is a four-storey facility incorporating indoor running tracks, teaching and learning spaces, staff office areas, treatment rooms and a high-tech climate chamber. The chamber’s internal environment can be controlled to assess an athlete's response to different temperature, elevation and humidity conditions.

We ensured the building has been designed for low energy use, including undertaking JV3 modelling of the building fabric and analysis to ensure the façade was optimised for daylighting and thermal performance. The facility utilises the campus’ central energy plant also designed by Cundall, and includes the installation of solar PV array to further reduce mains energy use and operating costs.

"A building with such specific uses, including the large volume space hosting the running track and the 100m2 climate chamber, required an innovative and customised approach to building services. We took as our starting point the goal of ensuring optimal energy-efficiency, and understanding the physics of how building fabric and internal spaces would perform was key to the design solution." Garrit Schot, Director.
