The Gadigal Centre of Excellence is envisioned as a breathable sanctuary, where architecture becomes a mediating layer between campus life and Country. Anchored by existing trees and open landscape, it forms a sensory threshold that transforms a harsh edge into a place of reflection and renewal. A porous mesh skin filters light, air, and sound, while rammed earth walls ground the building. Circulation weaves through exhibitions, interstitial galleries, and protective auditorium walls, rising toward teaching spaces aligned with the ridge, where sky and ground meet to foster cultural exchange and deeper belonging for all who gather here.

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.
