RMIT Engineering Labs Consolidation
Bundoora Campus, Naarm, Victoria
The commission includes new purpose-made spaces for High Voltage, and Heavy Structures Laboratories relocated from RMIT’s City campus to the Bundoora campus. The Consolidation project includes 11 unique and distinct projects, each with specific technical and spatial requirements. JWA + WA focused on delivering improved space efficiency and utilisation, benchmarking against known facilities and embedding concepts of the world’s best practices and leading environmental sustainability initiatives.
