ON CAMPUS

both the overall structure of the buildings and the layout of interiors
should serve to nurture a sense of community.
A NATIONWIDE PHENOMENON
Universities right around Australia are listening to their students’
feedback and allocating funding to facilitate sticky campus design.
Lyons is among Australia’s leading university designers. Drawing
upon more than 20 years of architectural and urban design
experience, the practice has most recently leveraged its expertise
to design RMIT’s New Academic Street (NAS).
This project was undertaken in collaboration with NMBW
Architecture Studio, Harrison and White, MvS Architects and
Maddison Architects.
Here, the campus opens out to Melbourne CBD and is best
described as an extension of the city. On campus, students enjoy
easy access to a range of eateries and coffee shops — all without
having to venture off campus. This is a place where socialising
and studying can be done under one roof or in one of the many
outdoor areas dotted throughout the campus.
The University of Melbourne is next in line for a new student
precinct at its Parkville campus. Lyons are acting as principal
architects, leading a team of specialists and designers including
Koning Eizenberg Architecture from the US (led by UoM alumni
Julie Eizenberg and Hank Koning), with Aspect Studios, Breathe
Architecture, NMBW Architecture Studio, Greenaway Architects,
Glas Urban and Architects EAT.
Here, a collaborative design process will help provide students
with a truly diverse experience of campus life. Multiple study
spaces, varied dining options, and an array of spaces for creative
endeavours are just some of the facilities students can look
forward to accessing.
All contributors to Lyons’ design team are alumni of the
University of Melbourne and, as such, they will be well placed
to understand the perspectives and insights offered by current
students — who are to be considered co-creators of the
new space.
Interstate, m3architecture has been working with residential
colleges at the University of Queensland, through master
plans that in their own way create reciprocal interest and energy
on campus.
The master plans project vibrant social spaces, considered
learning environments and densification in line with the intent
of the UQ master plan.
The colleges are seen as an integral part of life on campus,
and their ongoing vitality is an important part of the culture and
experience of university. ■
