Griffith University, G26 Glycomics Building

The G26 Glycomics Building is the third stage of the Institute of Glycomics biomolecular research precinct which Paynters have delivered for Griffith University. The new 4 level building features world class research laboratories for the study of glycons and glycon-binding motions in various biological systems, and the design of novel drugs and vaccines. The multi-disciplinary approach to glycomic drug discovery research is fostered through the planning of office and research laboratory spaces and areas where research staff can interact with their colleagues. With a new laboratory, lecture theatre, offices, plantrooms and storage, the building is modern in design as well as progressive in functionality.

The design and construction of this innovative facility involved the incorporation of complex service installations. The laboratory was built to provide controlled conditions for scientific research in a light, clean and welcoming environment. The lecture theatre offers comfortable, modern surroundings with state-of-the-art equipment to facilitate the best possible learning environment. The contemporary exterior of the building conveys the pioneering work that takes place inside while enhancing this research precinct within the university’s Gold Coast campus.
