Concept
The concept for the new JCU Biosecurity Precinct complements the natural setting for the proposed building. The three wings allow for natural ventilation to all spaces and provide an optimised grid for flexible programmatic arrangements. The large canopy roof is vital for the tropical response by allowing the ground plane to be protected from solar heat gain and the resultant heat island effect.
