"The Ian Potter Museum of Art, Education and Programs Centre is a significant expansion of the original museum at the University of Melbourne's Parkville campus, extending into the heritage-listed 1930s Physics Annex."
"Connecting with both the campus and a major road leading out of the city centre, the concave, mirrored, polished stainless-steel portal extends from the original facade, marking the museum's presence and creating a multi-faceted public interface."
The Ian Potter Museum of Art, Education and Programs Centre constitutes a major expansion of the original museum on the University of Melbourne's Parkville campus, occupying the heritage-listed 1930s Physics Annex. The expansion forges physical and visual connections with both the campus and a principal road leading from the city centre. A concave, mirrored, polished stainless-steel portal projects from the existing facade to announce the museum's presence and mediate between interior and exterior. The portal forms a dynamic, multi-faceted public interface that enhances visibility, engagement, and the museum's educational and programmatic functions within an expanded contemporary envelope.
