Honouring heritage and enhancing student life.
A transformative 64,000-square-meter development, Normark’s work at the University of Melbourne’s Student Precinct balances cultural heritage with modern campus life.
A striking amphitheatre features intricate paving from locally sourced stone with Indigenous designs, while recycled brick paving, custom timber decking, and large-scale furniture enhance sustainability and visual appeal.
Native plants from 45 Indigenous language groups enrich the landscape’s connection to Country, and steps and ramps skilfully manage the site’s complex levels.
Judges praised its inviting atmosphere, attention to detail, and seamless campus integration.
