The Sustainable Buildings Research Centre (SBRC) at the University of Wollongong is a landmark of regenerative design and innovation. As the first project in Australia and the third outside the USA to achieve Full Living Certification, it demonstrates what’s possible when research, education, and industry come together to reimagine the built environment. Designed by Cox Architecture and led by a multidisciplinary team, the SBRC takes a holistic approach to sustainability, featuring on-site renewable energy, extensive use of locally sourced and reused materials, and a strong connection to place through natural material palettes and bush tucker plantings. More than a building, it’s a collaborative hub dedicated to accelerating the decarbonisation of our built environment, empowering the next generation of leaders to design with impact.
