Motivated by changes in the student demographics on campus, this project aims to redesign and refurbish a campus space to ensure that it is open, inclusive and fosters cultural competence amongst staff and students.

This co-created design will introduce new furniture with cultural prompts for conversation; a mural/map of the world where students can place a pin on the map to denote their heritage/country of origin; notice board for intercultural activities; other cultural and engagement prompts yet to be determined.

It will integrate and celebrate our diversity and foster a culture of inquiry that will challenge an exclusionary definition of ‘others’.
