WITS Science Stadium
Where Innovation Meets Excellence
Discover the Wits Science Stadium
Welcome to the Wits Science Stadium, the heart of scientific advancement at the University of the Witwatersrand. Strategically redeveloped from the historic Skeen Stadium on our West Campus, this state-of-the-art facility combines cutting-edge design with a rich heritage, creating a vibrant new precinct within the university.
A Hub of Learning and Discovery
The Wits Science Stadium is a dynamic educational complex featuring modern auditoria and tutorial rooms spread across three levels. Adjacent to this, our newly constructed building houses advanced undergraduate laboratories for Chemistry, Physics, and Biology. These laboratories are designed with a north-south orientation, featuring a grand colonnade that opens onto a central public space, seamlessly connecting to the auditorium’s open foyer.
Science on Display
Our facility is designed to accommodate up to 400 students, offering expansive, clear-span spaces that facilitate easy movement and collaboration. Embracing the concept of ‘science on display,’ the laboratories boast glazed facades that provide a transparent view of the scientific endeavors within, inspiring curiosity and engagement.
Environmentally Responsible Design
Repurposing the existing stadium structure instead of opting for demolition was a cost-effective and environmentally conscious decision. The Wits Science Stadium is built with durability and environmental performance at its core. The design emphasizes the integration and control of natural lighting in the laboratories and auditoria, supplemented by artificial lighting and optimized for energy efficiency.
