Reshaping your on-campus experience
Over the next 10 years, we will be reshaping and reinvigorating our campuses.
Investing in our campus infrastructure now will help to deliver enhanced student and staff experience for the future. This investment will foster greater connectivity with industry and the community and amplify our research capabilities to ensure a strong and sustainable future for the University.
Sustainable Development Goals
Griffith University is aligned with the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and is committed to promoting sustainable cities and communities while conserving life on land, working for a more harmonious and sustainable world for all.
Reimagining study in the CBD with the Treasury Building
From 2027, Griffith will offer state-of-the-art learning and teaching facilities, research, engagement, and vibrant event and exhibition spaces at the historic Treasury Building for Griffith staff, students and the community to enjoy.
The building’s iconic location in the heart of the city will establish a flagship educational presence for Griffith and become the new hub for our business, law and information technology disciplines and postgraduate and executive education centre, and later Griffith College.
The Treasury Building will strengthen our geographic footprint in South East Queensland and establish us as the only higher education provider with a presence in Brisbane, Logan, and the Gold Coast.

Griffith is committed to sustainable building design and construction
Griffith University’s Design Guidelines outline sustainable building practices and standards, for renovations and new builds, to ensure that developments are environmentally sustainable and to enhance energy efficiency and environmental comfort. Key measures described in the Guidelines include optimising building orientation, using energy-efficient materials, and implementing central energy plants and monitoring systems. The guidelines encourage performance exceeding National Construction Code standards and align with Queensland’s energy efficiency requirements.
Notable examples include the 6 Green Star rated Sir Samuel Griffith Centre, powered mostly by solar and the Engineering, Technology, and Aviation building, a "living laboratory" with real-time energy monitoring.
The university has installed over 5000 kW of rooftop solar panels, with more plans being developed.
Griffith climate action
We are committed to following Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recommendations through our research, learning, engagement and operational activities.
Campus development design principles
Using the same design principles for all future development we can create a better, more consistent campus experience. These are high-level principles that guide the detailed design decisions for both the short-term activation and longer-term redevelopment projects.
Our design principles ensure the numerous groups working to deliver our campus vision are striving for the shared goal of achieving a desirable future state for all those who work, study and visit the campus.
Our approach to engagement
Meaningful and genuine engagement with staff, students and other key stakeholders is the cornerstone for our projects underway.
Opportunities will be available for our campus communities to co-create our future spaces and partake in activations to test ideas before completion and for students to participate in work-integrated learning.
