Award-winning and state-of-the-art: the new home of Macquarie’s Law School

Project Overview

The new home of Macquarie University Law School and Department of Philosophy, the Michael Kirby Building, opened in 2024 and embodies a bold vision for legal education at Macquarie University.
The Michael Kirby Building, named after the Australian jurist and the institution’s first Emeritus Chancellor, is a state-of-the-art facility on the Ryde campus, in Sydney, Australia.

Scope of Work

TTW have contributed multidisciplinary expertise to deliver the new Michael Kirby Building

  • Combining exemplar state-of-the-art mass timber engineering and construction with adaptive re-use.
  • The utilisation of lightweight and quick-to-construct mass timber which was pivotal to project’s success.
  • Provided design input to assist studies into use, cost, and programme feasibility for complete demolition and re-build versus partial retention and addition for the building.

Our engineering design services spanned all phases of the project, from initial feasibility, and conceptualisation to construction. TTW’s specialist timber engineering team provided valuable input through full design and detailing of the timber structure to ensure that the showpiece of the building was efficient, quick to install, and met the architects’ and clients’ vision for a beautiful mass timber experience for the occupants.
