Project Overview

Commendation – Category 2 Renovation/Modernisation of School/Major Facility.

“The Academic Centre at Ormond College, Melbourne University. This respectful yet quite radical adaptation of a heritage listed, Robin Boyd designed, architectural icon of the 1960’s, has created a remarkable facility for self directed, technology-rich learning at a tertiary level.
