Concept Design Renders
In February 2018, the Project Team appointed a team of architects led by Lyons Architecture to design the New Student Precinct on the Parkville Campus. The first task for Lyons and their architects was to commence Concept Design for the Project, including preparation of a concept design to be approved by the Project’s various governing groups. The concept design phase has now been completed and the report approved by the Project’s ultimate governing body.
