The building is the first in Australia to achieve a 6 Star Green Star – Education PILOT Certified Rating for design by the Green Building Council of Australia.

The Living Laboratory concept supports sustainable education not only for Bond students, but also for the wider community. The Living Laboratory centre and Self-Guided Tours offer a unique learning experience for students, school groups, industry and guests.

The building minimises energy consumption through an innovative design that makes maximum use of natural light and mixed mode ventilation. Water tanks and a grey water recycling system means less reliance on the local water supply, and the building achieves more than an 80% reduction in carbon emissions. The design also made extensive use of recycled materials, including recycled timber and loose furniture, as well as low-emission paints and environmentally friendly carpet.

By ‘going green’, the building not only reduces its environmental impact, but also reduces long-term operating costs, and provides students and teachers with healthy and safe surroundings that maximise their learning potential.

The partnership between Bond University and Mirvac reflects a long-term investment in the next generation of students who will develop an invaluable understanding of the growing importance of sustainability and bring that knowledge into the business world.
