Urbis has won the ‘Best Planning Ideas – Large Project’ category at the Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) QLD Planning Awards for Excellence 2017.
Appointed by University of Queensland (UQ) a little over 18 months ago, Urbis’ Design and Planning teams delivered a visionary master plan for the UQ St Lucia campus and UQ’s associated landholdings.
The master plan positions UQ and its physical assets in line with future trends in education, the changing nature and role of students and how they want to study and learn in the future, as well as how the University will adapt and participate in the progressing digital economy.
The process was underpinned by stakeholder and community engagement, following which the multi-disciplinary team created a strategic framework for the planning and development of the campus over the next 20 years.
