Sir Llew Edwards Building
The Sir Llew Edwards Building has several features including water harvesting, strategic shading and a substantial photovoltaic installation.
Most of the solar panels on the building's roof are laid flat or parallel to the roof. A small installation of experimental panels has been placed on tilt frames.
The Sir Llew Edwards Building includes a world-first collaborative teaching and learning space and the Institute for Continuing and TESOL Education.
Known initially as GP North 4, the building was renamed shortly after construction in recognition of Sir Llew Edward's highly distinguished service as a long time UQ Senate member and nearly 16 years as chancellor.
