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.
