The Dr Chau Chak Wing Building at the University of Technology Sydney was designed by Frank Gehry of Gehry Partners, with Daryl Jackson and Robin Dyke. The university owns it, and donor Chau Chak Wing gave $20 million toward the $180 million cost. It was completed on November 11, 2014, and opened on February 2, 2015. The article gives no named style.
The facade uses about 320,000 custom-designed bricks and is often called the squashed brown paper bag. The article describes the design as based on a tree-house idea. It has 16,030 square meters (172,500 sq ft) of floor area and houses the business school, with seminar rooms and classrooms.
It is the first Australian building by Gehry. A pedestrian entrance links it to The Goods Line on the east. The article gives no hours.
