The Brookfield Multiplex Research Program is supported by a generous donation from Brookfield Multiplex Constructions Pty Ltd to support leading, scholarly research in construction innovation in the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning.
Running over three annual rounds from January 2015 to December 2017, the Brookfield Multiplex Research Program Awards provided successful applicants with grants of up to $10,000 for research leading to peer-reviewed academic publications and larger-scale ARC or other research funding applications.
