Hosted by the Built Environment Reference Group*

Join us to explore the award-winning Boola Katitjin at Murdoch University. 

Representatives from the University and Aurecon will showcase key features of this fusion of modern engineering and ecological stewardship and join us afterwards for networking over light refreshments.

Boola Katitjin exemplifies a building that was created with an authentic focus on community service. Central to its design is student well-being, achieved through biophilic principles that connect occupants with nature. Features like wide views of the Beeliar wetlands and natural ventilation breezeways enhance this connection. The project, Western Australia’s first mass-engineered timber building, has garnered global recognition for promoting sustainable, renewable, and circular methods in construction, aiding in achieving net-zero carbon goals.
