The University of New South Wales (UNSW) Analytical Building is a state-of-the-art 8,500 m² teaching and research facility at the UNSW campus in Kingsford.
The building houses a wide range of sensitive electronic equipment including electronic microscope units and nuclear magnetic resonance equipment. NDY’s electrical services design solution involved EMI/RFI mitigation and power quality design including surge protection and filtering to protect this critical equipment.
The project involved a high density of services reticulated through the building and NDY produced 3D CAD designs for coordination with other disciplines.
The lighting design incorporated energy savings with lighting control systems installed with presence and daylight detection.
Challenges met by NDY included:
- Reticulation of services in limited ceiling space
- Providing flexibility of services for future building modifications
- Meeting tight budget restraints
- Meeting tight design and construction schedules.
