Griffith University Eco Centre
Griffith Eco Centre is an environmental
education centre within Toohey Forest.
The bush-land site has inspired an organic building form which together
with large areas
of glazed walls and elevated entry bridge give
the centre a "treehouse" ambience. This
theme will continue when a future canopy walkaway is added. The use of
rammed earth walls and solar panels, the design for water and energy
conservation, day-lighting and natural ventilation all enhance the
environmental education experience of visitors.
