The University of Queensland undertook a large-scale upgrade of its existing Physiology Lecture Theatre Building, consisting of a full refurbishment of 3 large Lecture Theatres and all Front of House areas over 4 levels.

Medland Metropolis were engaged to provide Mechanical, Electrical and Hydraulic services for this refurbishment. This involved full replacement of all mechanical plant and all electrical items, including an upgrade of services to meet Lecture Theatre requirements for video recording and multi-media presentations.

Medland Metropolis’ design of a heat recovery system for the Lecture Theatres themselves also allowed the Foyer area to be designed as a comfort cooled space which resulted in significant savings, both in energy requirements and in overall capital costs.
