The newly completed Faculty of Engineering and IT (FEIT) building for the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) City Campus designed by Denton Corker Marshall and delivered by Lend Lease, FEIT is sited on the corner of Broadway and Wattle Street, Ultimo, at the southern edge of the campus. It will accommodate up to 5,000 students and staff in purpose-built research and teaching spaces, including robotics, computer and human-centred design labs, and a 3D data visualisation facility (the Data Arena), all set around a light-filled atrium. The 12-level, 44,000-square-metre building is cloaked in a shimmering aluminium veil stamped with a binary code of ‘1s’ and ‘0s’ and creased with ‘gills’ to punctuate the facade and symbolically reinforce it as a living, breathing structure. In some areas, the screens overshoot the building by up to 16 metres, intensifying its urban presence. At night the screens will be LED-lit in green.
