Throughout his career, Nigel has been driven by helping advance science, education and health through well-engineered, safe and sustainable built environments that benefit all stakeholders.

Some key projects where he has had significant or leading roles include:

• Anatomy Facility and Upgrade, School of Biomedical Science, University of Melbourne.
• Hybrid Operating Theatre, St. Vincents Private Hospital, Brisbane
• LARTF & SPF Facility Infrastructure and Compliance Upgrade, La Trobe University, Melbourne
• Western Edge Biosciences Building, University of Melbourne
• Post-Entry Quarantine Facility, Melbourne
• Hunter Medical Research Institute, Newcastle

Nigel’s experience has provided him with a broad appreciation of all stages of a project’s lifecycle from initial functional briefing to user transition and operation, including the critical components, considerations and roles that are key to achieving a successful outcome.

“A key part of my design approach is open and collaborative engagement with all stakeholders to understand in greater detail the science, vision and key drivers that influence the function and form of a facility.”

“Through elements such as early involvement, iterative and flexible design solutions, concept alignment workshops, and integrated scenario testing on site I have been able to achieve successful engineering outcomes across my project portfolio.”

Nigel has also presented on the importance of engineering in the built environment and how both function and form can be harmoniously integrated into the design.

Congratulations Nigel on this incredible milestone.
