DDEG provided performance-based solutions that enabled the architects to achieve their vision of horizontal connections between buildings, open feature stairs and atriums. 

The project seamlessly blends modern amenities with heritage elements, setting a new standard for student facilities and enriching the cultural and social fabric of the university campus.

What are performance-based solutions?

A performance-based engineering solution is the technical justification for building designs that don’t or can’t comply with prescriptive building code provisions.

Instead of changing your design to comply with the building code’s arbitrary rules, we use engineering principles to measure a building’s performance.

We think creatively to uncover solutions to demonstrate that your building meets the Building Code of Australia’s Performance Requirements, so you can achieve compliance without compromising your design vision.
