Collingwood

The Melbourne Polytechnic Collingwood Campus Redevelopment project is a $40 mil investment by the Victorian Government.

It will:

• create a revitalised place precinct in Melbourne’s vibrant inner north
• establish a contemporary space for TAFE that fosters strong connections to industry and community
• improve employment outcomes through vocational education and training in key priority industries
• support social development and community connectedness.

Scope of Works

The project scope includes:

• Refurbishment and fit-out of the existing Building A, a 10,200 m², eight-level building including roof top plant room on Level 8.
• The fit-out works includes educational spaces for a range of technology related to creative arts, foundation studies, student amenities and support services and staff accommodation for Melbourne Polytechnic.
• In addition, there are cold shell fit-out works for future expansion to accommodate for partner organisations, or further educational space expansion.  
• Replacement of building plant and services infrastructure to the site.
• Demolition of the existing TV studio pod extension (not universally accessible) and associated external stairs at the northern façade.
• A new welcoming entrance at Perry Street and generally a more open and safer Perry Street frontage.
• Refurbishment of terraces at Level 3 plus landscaping works, which provides for an indigenous cultural garden area at the northern part of the site.
