The Atrium - 308 Queens St.
The historic National Australia Bank building at 308 Queen Street in Brisbane is a remarkable example of architectural excellence from its era. Originally built for a prominent financial institution, the building's grand presence and intricate detailing reflect its heritage and significance. Acquired by a leading Queensland university, it has transitioned from a financial institution to an educational hub.
The Journey
The initial vision for the space was to expand the reach of the University with a central city location catered to students and alumni.
The aim was to establish a co-working and collaborative environment for the academic community. This space offers avenues for professional growth, networking, and engaging in events, making it the ultimate destination for career guidance, inspiration, and building connections.
Centrally positioned and with significant historical charm and abundant character, the building featured an ornate vaulted ceiling, and a captivating glass-domed interior. Complimented with bronze accents, stained glass, and strong geometrics, it was a truly unique environment with a brief to retain the historical significance with a contemporary design.
The space was to transition from a history of financial exchanges to one of intellectual sharing.
