The Translational Research Institute is Australia’s most comprehensive medical research and biopharmaceutical facility. It brings together four major research bodies with the aim of accelerating research and encouraging innovation in biomedical fields.

Spacious laboratory and write-up areas connected with light and views to other research spaces, hug the edge of the outdoor room with views back to the city. Shared circulation occurs along an arcade with amazingly transparent cross views. Write-up spaces connect to the laboratories with floor to ceiling glass maintaining views out of both workspaces at all times, including critical visual links to the courtyard arcade and social spaces.

The planning strategy enables scientists to move throughout all laboratories across all floors without leaving the controlled environment. Meeting, gathering and circulation spaces within work areas are consolidated at key points to maximise immediacy and casual encounter across and between floors with choices of settings to suit occupation scenarios. Associated boardroom and staff terraces provide prospect and outlook over the PAH campus and city, providing views to TRI’s affiliated institutional partners at QUT, UQ and the Mater Hospital.
