The planned extension of Phase I, which was finished in 1998, completes the overall four-storey building, tripling its original floor area. The majority of the floor-space is open-plan accommodation, with a flexible office system of self-supporting partitions, which can be easily reconfigured to allow teams to share research and work together on joint projects. Phase II augments the Centre's scholastic program by providing a number of shared communal facilitates, including a library, seminar rooms, lecture theatres, common areas, and a canteen, which overlooks the Mill Stream. Separately tendered, Phase II is furnished with t02 tables, desks and free address beams.
