Introduction
Western Sydney University is thrilled to announce the launch of the Indigenous Centre of Excellence.
Located on Darug Ngurra (Country) at Western Sydney University's Parramatta South campus, the Indigenous Centre of Excellence will provide opportunities for Indigenous peoples to celebrate culture and connection to Country - serving as an intersection for knowledge exchange, and steeped in the principles of reciprocity, generosity, and respect. It will deliver a facility from which to lead global discourse on Indigenous knowledges.
Western Sydney University invites multidisciplinary teams to participate in a national design competition to realise its vision for the Indigenous Centre of Excellence.
The competition process is composed of an open expression of interest (Stage One) followed by a design response stage (Stage Two). Following the Competition, a winner will be selected to deliver design services for the project.
