Adjacent to the University’s main Parkville campus, five new buildings surround a communal courtyard, or “oculus.” The project is shaped by human behavior, so in addition to housing for over 500 students, the buildings will hold retail, hospitality spaces, a childcare center, and even a science gallery. A “Fab Lab” and “Superfloor” act as collaboration habitats – where human thought processing can begin to manifest into real life breakthroughs.

“Innovation comes from people, the way they interact, the way they collaborate on a common purpose. Therefore, it’s essential that every part of this scheme lives and breathes human-centered design,” Woods Bagot principal and project design lead, Hazel Porter said.
