   The competition jury statement on the winning design is as follows:

      This scheme was found by the jury to have a strong overall design approach that met both the functional brief as well as the aesthetic requirements. The jury was impressed by the way the design places the new spaces as well as the Main Building within a broader campus/precinct with a distinct identity and purpose that is itself sympathetically placed in the natural and built landscapes.

      Jurors found this design had good integration and was able to create a sympathetic and effective intermediary space (the Glazed Link) between the Main Building and the New Anzac Hall design. The materiality of the design was also appreciated as contributing strongly to creating a cohesive feel between the three spaces and jurors noted the design and materials would both age well.

      The scheme creates very flexible and usable exhibition spaces and additionally supports other operational requirements such as events well. The column-free design on multiple levels was noted to provide high levels of adaptability for the future, although concerns were expressed around the structural requirements, and related costs, to achieve this.

 The competition jury statement on the winning design is as follows:

    The jury commended this scheme for its aesthetic approach, well thought out environmentally sustainable development plan and its very clear access and circulation plans – in particular a series of artistic/commemorative attractors to draw people to the very clear entrance areas.

    The Jury appreciated the intent of this design to be subservient to the Main Building and to not establish its own separate identity. The use of a glass oculus structure to provide a clear and evocative view of the Main Building above the visitor upon arrival at the Southern Hall entry added a strong, innovative element to this design and demonstrated its intent to pay appropriate homage to the Commemorative Area and Hall of Memory in particular. The internal design was also viewed as high quality and fitting for an iconic building of the Memorial's nature.

    Connectivity was highly rated by the jury and the creation of entry plazas provided clear, controllable points of arrival imbued with a sense
