Immersing students in a world of scientific discovery and innovation

THE SCIENCE PLACE JAMES COOK UNIVERSITY

The Science Place has been designed to transform scientific research, undergraduate education, and postgraduate training. This interactive, purpose-driven design celebrates, supports and reveals science in cutting-edge facilities.

This $85-million teaching and learning facility in the heart of James Cook University’s Townsville campus will promote the sciences, and encourage interest in science-based careers in the wider community, and foster interdisciplinary interactions.
This 12,000m2 purpose-built Education and Research space comprises an outreach centre with interactive displays, next-generation lecture theatres, high capacity computer labs and Technology Enabled Active Learning spaces, all linked to vibrant food outlets, in an energy-efficient design appropriate to the tropical environment.
