Prize
Winner

The project involved five buildings that are north-south oriented and designed in stepped levels to work with the topography of the site. The communal area is a major area accessible from all four college frontages and these are beautifully landscaped. The challengers involved 350+construction workers in a tight space in a fully functioning university campus.  The works included the removal of 10,000 tonne of debris from the site, major arterial service diversions and 27,000 cubic metres of sand taken out of the ground.  Perhaps the most striking feature is the external façade which comprises high quality glazed brickwork and class 2 finish concrete.  This is a large project with a consistent high quality of design and finish and a worthy winner of a Master Builder’s Award.
