PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Clancy Auditorium, which was constructed in the late 1960s, opened in 1971 containing a single auditorium space for both teaching and events, with entry foyers to the north, east and western elevations.
Fifty years since opening, the University has grown to support a cohort of 60,000 local and international students who all pass through the doors of the Clancy Auditorium to graduate.
In its its platinum jubilee year, UNSW invested in refurbishing the Clancy Auditorium to create a world-class setting for UNSW graduands.
With the Light Rail route from Circular Quay to Randwick designed to go up High St and past the Clancy Auditorium for its UNSW stop, the refurbishment also set out to improve the aesthetic of UNSW’s main entry point.
The foyers and building façade were enhanced both internally and externally to create a statement which truly reflects UNSW’s status as a global university.
