Official opening of the Boola Katitjin at Murdoch University

 

In February of 2023, the official opening of Boola Katitjin took place at Murdoch University in Perth, Australia. This building is the largest mass engineered timber construction in Western Australia.

 

With a building floor area of 16,000 m² over four storeys, the new building on campus will accommodate up to 60% of Murdoch's teaching requirements. The particularly sustainable concept includes a photovoltaic system, natural ventilation throughout the building and a system for stormwater harvesting and reusing grey water. In addition, the world's most natural raw material - wood - was used for the construction. A total of 1,500 m³ of glulam was delivered including some of the largest glulam beams in all of Australia, measuring 26 m in length and weighing over 7 tonnes each.
