The ANU Exchange is creating a place where people can live, study, work and enjoy life in a safe, attractive, stimulating and environmentally sustainable environment. It is designed as an environment that encourages “working in the urban space” which often helps development and exchange of ideas and business contacts, as well as creative learning. It will also be a destination for cultural and entertainment events.

Fostering opportunities for companies to work with leading edge university-based scientific and social research is the key to success at the ANU Exchange.

The ANU Exchange will have open spaces, cultural activity and street life to complement the working environment. There will be good access to on-site parking, public transport, childcare and fitness/ recreation centres, as well as a variety of street cafes, restaurants, shops and entertainment facilities.

The ANU Exchange can:

	Create opportunities for people to meet and consider integration of sciences and disciplines, often a source of innovation;
	Give access to skilled people and specialised expertise;
	Provide a vibrant atmosphere in an urban environment.
