CBRE Project Management: Science and Research

Our Science & Research team provide specialist project management services, to assist research institutes, universities, government and communities in achieving their strategic objectives.

‘Innovation’, ‘science’ and ‘research-oriented development’ are more than just buzz-words. These trends play an integral part as to how government, health and education service providers develop their strategic plans, structure their assets and deliver their capital works programmes.

How can we help you?

1. We offer integrated solutions to complex problems and opportunities - Our services in the research and science sector can be delivered as part of the planning or delivery stages of a project, or both. We provide access to a comprehensive suite of planning, management and delivery resources.

2. We have an established network of suppliers - Through the completion of various projects, we have developed expertise in the management of design, statutory approvals, procurement and transaction activities, budget, program and contract management, construction delivery, facility and operational commissioning and risk management across all phases of projects.

3. Our team will help manage the needs of your stakeholders - We employ individuals with diverse experience across project management, engineering, architecture, planning and corporate advisory to provide our clients with a broader perspective of insight and thinking.

4. We have a proven track record in delivering higher education projects - We have worked with some of Australia’s predominant contributors to modern science and research, including NSW Health Infrastructure, the University of New South Wales, The University of Sydney, Macquarie University, University of Wollongong and more.

Science and Research Trends and Insights

Data is Driving Design for Education

Data-driven design is paving the way for innovative design solutions. Through rapid testing of many different scenarios, it is allowing us to explore all available opportunities, provide valuable insight into future needs and offer a truly global perspective on ‘best practice'.

Classroom Transformation

Education thinking has evolved and is still evolving into a highly dynamic process offering students a more interactive learning experience. This article explores the different ways that the traditional classroom has transformed, and how it will undoubtedly reflect on the types of spaces available to accommodate the nature of the new activities.

Mass Science: Superlab Design Best Practice

Laboratory facilities that encourage learning/teaching and the exchange of ideas in a large group environment, as well as potentially running multiple sessions in parallel, are often referred to as ‘superlabs’. Superlabs constantly offer interesting opportunities to explore and compare teaching pedagogies.
