Robin Gibson (architect)

During his part-time years in university, he worked in a number of architectural offices in Brisbane and, in particular, gained much knowledge from the progressive firm Hayes and Scott.

After graduating, Gibson moved to London and worked with the practices of James Cubitt, Sir Hugh Casson and his partner Neville Conder.

The writer added that Gibson took into consideration the political, social and cultural needs of the environment, and embraced awareness of the outcomes in global arenas.

[4] Gibson described his philosophy that 'a good building is one that respects its users and accommodates the needs of those outside its walls', and that the aim of architecture is to 'house and magnify the experience of living'.

[6] The company was registered at the Office of Fair Trading in Queensland in 1994,[7] and closed in May 2013, due to Gibson's ill health.

The orchestra pit can hold musicians with a full stage house facility that caters to performances from dramas to grand opera.

There is an abstract design by Nevil Matthews done on six large stained glass windows, which form the eastern facade of the foyer.

In addition, there are paintings and sculptures reflecting the history of the university, lined on the north main walkway along the tall concrete recesses.
