Investing in maximising the value of existing university building stock in the face of budget constraints is an important consideration for Australian universities to remain competitive and relevant. The re-life-ing of aging buildings provides an affordable and sustainable alternative without necessarily compromising on the quality of learning and teaching experiences both within and beyond the classroom. The key is not to treat the retrofit in isolation but to incorporate and align it with broader university strategic and capital works plans. This presentation will discuss the development of an Integrated Design Model (IDM) to melds together elements of: pedagogy (teaching models), technologies (application modelling) and space (behaviour modelling). The discussion points for this session include the following considerations: 

​

• The Design Principles and Conceptualisation Process 

• The Architecture of Learning and Built Pedagogy 

• The Human Factor and Scaling the Learning Experience

• The Simulation Space and Work-Integrated Learning
