Earth, Sky & Inbetween

The Gadigal Centre of Excellence grows from the landscape, honouring Gadigal stories while inviting the community to learn, create and share. Its flowing form and kinetic façade respond to the seasonal wind and light so the rhythms of Country can be felt throughout. A stone path carries movement from Gadigal Green through the building, dissolving the boundary between campus and nature. At its heart, a vertical void draws in light, connecting earth and sky. Shaped roof openings trace the shifting seasons, allowing the Centre to become a living part of Country where culture and learning continually evolve.

We recognise and pay respect to the Elders and communities - past, present, and emerging - of the lands that the University of Sydney's campuses stand on. For thousands of years they have shared and exchanged knowledges across innumerable generations for the benefit of all.
