Lyons with Silver Thomas Hanley and Haworth Tompkins received the prestigious George Temple Poole Award for ECU City, an ambitious relocation of Edith Cowan University’s School of Business and Law and Cybersecurity, Arts and Humanities faculties, the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts and the West Australian Screen Academy into the Perth CBD.
The project involved creating a vertical campus with strong visual and physical links to the public realm.
