A significant investment has been made in art at Tonsley to enhance the physical environment and reflect the identity of the building as a site of creativity, collaboration and innovation.

This investment includes two commissioned artworks built into the fabric of the building for permanent display.

LED/LCD Display Artwork: This artwork is intended to speak to the imagination and encourage investigation whilst providing a striking element that greets visitors and users. Brightly coloured and ever moving, the installation is located in the heart of the building’s activity, adjacent to Tonsley Theatre 1.

The artist has taken inspiration from ‘Star Trek’ and other science-fiction sources. The form of the artwork is intended to reflect the technological and cutting-edge nature of the work being undertaken at Tonsley by the School of Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics and other occupants. Building users are encouraged to try and find patterns in the abstract imagery or information being displayed. This may heighten the artwork’s significance over time.

Location: Adjacent Collaborative Lecture Theatre on the ground floor.

Access All Levels Artwork: The concept for this artwork is “seeing through the building”. The voids in each floor make it possible for site lines to bounce the image of the sky through the building down to the entry. The artwork elaborates on one of the building’s guiding principles and allows people to engage with the space as they travel through it – in a sense “seeing through the building”.

In addition to the two permanent art installations, Tonsley houses a curated exhibition of contemporary Aboriginal paintings and a display of ‘patent’ poster prints as proposed by Tonsley-based staff. To maximise access and engagement these works are to be installed in prominent, public locations on the ground and upper levels of the Tonsley building.

There are two bike parks available for staff and students.

A secure, undercover bike park is provided inside the Flinders at Tonsley building and external racks are provided on the northern side of the building.

How to use the secure bike room:

1. A swipe car panel is located outside the bike room entry. Place your ID over this panel and wait until you hear an audible beep. The red light will turn green confirming access.
2. The door will release and allow entry to the room where your bike can be secured with your own lock and the fittings supplied.
3. Once your bike is secure, exit through the same door, ensuring it closes behind you.

Open air bike racks: These bike racks are for the use of staff, student and visitors. Your bike can be secured to these racks with your own lock.
