It’s 1:30am and I’m finally done! The Lilydale Atrium on Koala Island is finished!
The Atrium is the largest building on Koala Island is a ‘replica-build’ based on the real-life Atrium at Swinburne’s Lilydale Campus in Victoria, Australia. It is designed to be a multi-purpose hub for Koala Island and includes a range of discreet spaces to meet, display student work and provide information about Swinburne University of Technology. It houses a number of spaces and resources including:
- Atrium Entry Hall - A large open space, equipped with holodeck tools which ‘rez’ three different scene selections:
- Circle of Chairs - Seats up to 12 avatars and provides a simple setup for large group discussions.
- Discussion Sofas - Seats up to 25 avatars on comfy sofas. Includes a slide/video viewer which can be accessed by members of the ‘Swinburne @ Koala Island’ group.
- Stage, Seating and Presentation Tools - Seats up to 50 avatars, and includes a slide/video viewer which can be accessed by members of the ‘Swinburne @ Koala Island’ group.
- Tables and Chairs - Seats up to 24 avatars around small tables, and includes a slide/video viewer which can be accessed by members of the ‘Swinburne @ Koala Island’ group.
- Swinburne University of Technology Information Centre - which includes useful links and information about the Unversity and courses offered, our real-life campuses and student services.
- The Atrium Coffee Shop - an informal space for visitors to meet, chat and grab a virtual coffee
- The Koala Island Project Office - this space is current vacant, but will be used by students involved in projects on the Island
- Atrium Screening Room - Currently showing images from the University’s Spaceworks Program
- Atrium Gallery - Designed as a space to show and share student’s work. Currently showing images from the Swinburne University Image Bank
