University of Canberra/Peet Research Hub for the Built Environment

The proposed BE Hub aims to build upon our emerging strength in building and construction research, our history of excellence in architectural practice, and previous investment by UC and the ACT government in our BIM Hub, Workshop 7, and Materials Lab, to focus on three interlocking, interdisciplinary research themes: Sustainable and Technologically Enhanced Construction Systems; Co-Creation with AI, Extended Reality and Digital Twin Technology in Design and Construction Processes; and The Next-Generation of Robotic and Automated Building Technologies.
