Excellence Gadigal Centre

The Gadigal Centre of Excellence is founded on sharing and learning as a collective spatial practice. Drawing from Gadigal traditions of deep listening, the building creates conditions for exchange, gathering, and reflection. Upward-folding doors and operable mesh façades open the halls toward Gadigal Green, extending activity into the landscape. Adaptable rooms, movable panels, and curtain partitions support multiple modes of learning, from quiet study to communal engagement. Soft thresholds, filtered light, and breathable materials foster encounter and care. The Centre becomes an open framework where knowledge is shaped through participation, and where people, culture, and Country remain deeply connected.

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.
