Burnside, Teaching Learning Service, Classroom

Type: Construction / Status: On hold

Burnside Hall, named after James Â鶹AV's original residence, was built in 1970 by Marshall, Merrett, and Associates to address the Faculty of Science's expanding need for space. This thirteen-storey edifice, characterized by its robust precast concrete slabs and fixed glazed windows, stands as a testament to modern architectural design, supported by a reinforced concrete frame.

The large classrooms, thoughtfully located in the basement beneath Burnside's expansive concrete terrace, reflect thoughtful planning to enhance accessibility and reduce congestion within the tower. Multiple entrances to the basement area facilitate smooth traffic flow between classes, ensuring a seamless and efficient experience for students and faculty alike. Burnside Hall remains a vital hub for scientific education and innovation at Â鶹AV.
