Sustainable Shine Dome
The University of Canberra has partnered with the Australian Academy of Science to research and develop an innovative sustainability plan for the renewal and replacement of environmental systems to work towards a net-zero emissions future for the National Heritage Listed Canberra landmark, the Shine Dome.
Led by the Faculty of Arts and Design, in collaboration with the Academy of Sciences, GML Heritage and GHD Engineering this multidisciplinary team will investigate innovative approaches to ensure progressive energy and emissions reductions while protecting and sustainably managing the Shine Dome’s national heritage values.
As part of the project, there will be series of events that will seek to initiate conversations around heritage values and how can these values be managed with sustainability in mind.
