"The two-storey facility is the second phase of a masterplan for the polytechnic, and it continues with the clear, consistent architectural language of stage one. The internal street is designed as a flexible meeting space for students and staff to work collaboratively outside studio areas. The building structure and services are visible, which act as a subtle educational tool. Built a decade after phase one, the new addition is seamless." Jury Citation
