Geocache Description:


THE CACHE

The cache has a magnetic mechanism. In order to retrieve it, you will have to work it all the way up. But it is up to you to discover where the inner cache could be waiting for you. I provided a red small tool attached to the metal frame around the outter container, check spolier picture to find it easier, (so please leave it again there as you found it). I am aware that this kind of tools gets lost/muggled/misplaced quite easily, so I recommend to bring your own strong magnet along. It is a quite exposed area, but the surrounding will give you a bit of shelter, especially from the parking entrance. So with a bit of stealth I don't think this will be any bigger problem.  



 



THE BUILDING

Dr. Chau Chak Wing Building is a Business School building of the University of Technology Sydney in Sydney. The first building in Australia designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry.

The tower is named after Dr. Chau Chak Wing, a Teochew Chinese-Australian businessman, and philanthropist who donated $20 million for the building's construction. The 12-storey tower provides teaching, learning, research and office accommodation for around 1,300 students and around 300 academic staff. The building design is based on the idea of a tree-house structure.

The building's façade, which was made of 320,000 custom designed bricks, is described as the "squashed brown paper bag". Frank Gehry said, "Maybe it's a brown paper bag, but it's flexible on the inside, there's a lot of room for changes or movement."

Early works on site and archaeological excavation were carried out from late 2011 until early 2012.  Construction of the building started in late 2012. The building structure was topped out in December 2013.The Dr. Chau Chak Wing building construction was completed in November 2014 and the official opening took place on 2 February 2015.

An entrance from The Goods Line - a pedestrian pathway - is located on the eastern border of the site.
