Pyramid Auditorium & Education Hub Project
The proposed School of Accounting & Finance and Pyramid Shaped & Themed Conference Hall at IBS University, Papua New Guinea is designed as a modern academic and conference facility to support finance, business education, student learning, and professional development. The project consists of a two-story academic building incorporating classrooms, faculty offices, auditoriums, student collaboration areas, and advanced teaching facilities. The development also includes a distinctive pyramid-shaped and themed conference hall, creating a unique architectural identity for the university campus. The architectural design integrates contemporary aesthetics with functional academic planning, while maintaining sustainable building practices, energy efficiency, and long-term durability. The structural framework is designed to comply with international standards, ensuring safety, stability, and efficient construction delivery. MEP services, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, drainage, ELV, security, networking, and digital infrastructure, are integrated to provide a comfortable, efficient, and future-ready learning environment.

Our Contribution
Spectrum International Consultants acted as the Lead Design Consultant for this project, delivering Architecture, Structural Engineering, MEP Engineering, BIM Development, Cost Planning, and Design Coordination services. The project initially commenced as a cinema theatre, for which Spectrum completed the full design development. Following the client’s revised requirements, the facility was redesigned into a 400 m² two-story school building accommodating classrooms, including complete architectural, engineering, and BIM model updates. Subsequently, a further design revision was undertaken to retain the original building envelope while reconfiguring the layout to accommodate a ground-floor auditorium and first-floor classroom facilities. Throughout all project stages, Spectrum provided coordinated multidisciplinary design, BIM development, and construction-ready documentation to ensure a technically compliant and efficient design solution
