A New Look for Georgeff Quadrangle

The heart of the campus has been given a fresh lease of life with the reopening of the Georgeff Quadrangle. Following extensive refurbishments, this central courtyard, nestled among the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, PathWest, and University of Western Australia buildings, has been transformed into a more accessible and enjoyable space for everyone on campus.

Enhancing Campus Life with Revitalised Spaces

Bringing Nature and Comfort Together

The redesign of the Georgeff Quadrangle focuses on creating a harmonious blend of natural beauty and functional design. With the addition of shade-providing trees, the courtyard not only becomes a tranquil oasis but also a cool retreat from the sun. The new seating arrangements, featuring timber benches and tables, offer versatile spaces for relaxation, casual meetings, or collaborative work, promoting a sense of community and interaction among campus staff, patients, and visitors.

Seasonal Beauty and Artistic Flair

An effort to add visual diversity and seasonal interest has led to the planting of flowering trees, ensuring that the courtyard remains vibrant and inviting throughout the year. The integration of new artworks and the thoughtful selection of native plants are designed to create a seamless flow and cohesiveness with the adjacent Six Seasons Garden, enhancing the aesthetic appeal and environmental value of the campus.

Inviting the Community to Enjoy the New Space

A Space for All Seasons

Completed on 1 May 2019, the refurbishment of the Georgeff Quadrangle stands as an invitation to the campus community and visitors to take a moment to unwind, collaborate, or simply enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. Whether you're looking to enjoy a peaceful lunch break outdoors or seeking a pleasant meeting spot, the newly revamped courtyard is designed to cater to a wide range of needs and preferences.

Connect with Nature and Culture

The Georgeff Quadrangle's redesign not only prioritises physical comfort and accessibility but also places a strong emphasis on cultural and environmental integration. By incorporating native flora and thought-provoking artworks, the space encourages visitors to connect with the natural and cultural heritage of the area, offering a unique and enriching campus experience.
