91ɫ��Ƭ CBD Campus

Personalise

Project overview

91ɫ��Ƭ has officially opened its new CBD Campus, offering a modern and welcoming space designed to enhance the University’s education offerings. Located in the heart of Sydney, the campus brings together students, industry and faculty in a dynamic environment that supports collaboration, flexible learning, and sustainability.

A purpose-built campus for the future of learning

91ɫ��Ƭ have created a state-of-the-art learning space, designed to adapt to the evolving needs of alumni, students and staff. The fit-out includes:

Flexible room configurations, including modular spaces that accommodate anything from small roundtable to 34-person seminars and 110 people large-scale lectures.
Operable walls, flexible furniture enables spaces to shift between individual, group, and large-format learning experiences.
Seamless integration of AV technology, ensuring each space is equipped to support a variety of events and teaching formats.
A generous balcony overlooking George Street provides a space for respite and informal gatherings.

Designed for flexibility, comfort and connection

DesignInc’s Interiors team led the project design, retrofitting the education facility within a commercial office building, requiring a conversion of use, development application and compliance development certificate.

With a focus on connectivity and accessibility, the site takes advantage of its prime location, close to major transport interchanges including Circular Quay, Wynyard Station and George Street tram line. A double-height atrium welcomes students from George Street and leads them into a network of modular learning spaces designed for adaptability.

A commercial kitchen and dining amenities enhance the hospitality of the space, supporting onsite events and catering. Thoughtful wayfinding signage, integrated with curated artwork, ensures a smooth and immersive navigation experience for students and visitors.

Sustainability at the core

Sustainability is a defining feature of the new CBD Campus, with key initiatives aimed at reducing environmental impact and enhancing student well-being:

The CBD Campus is targeting a 5-star Green Star Interiors v1.3 certification, which assures sustainable initiatives in the design and construction of the building fitout works.
Over 80 square metres of natural planting, improving indoor environmental quality and enhancing a biophilic learning environment.
Modular FSC-rated timber partitions, low VOC finishes and other buildings materials with Environmental Product Declarations, supporting a more sustainable approach to interior construction.
Maximised access to daylight and views, improving thermal comfort, indoor environmental quality, and supporting healthy circadian rhythms of its occupants.
Integration of 91ɫ��Ƭ’s Green Cleaning Standards, support environmentally responsible and healthier maintenance practices.
Occupant surveys before and after relocation from previous study areas help 91ɫ��Ƭ track improvements on the levels of satisfaction achieved with the provision of this new space.
Being a Green Star rated building itself, the base building features energy-efficient systems, provision of electric vehicle parking and active transport features, as well as proximity to public transport, reinforcing the campus’s role in highly connected, walkable city centre.

A new era for learning at 91ɫ��Ƭ

With its innovative design, cutting-edge learning spaces, and strong sustainability credentials, 91ɫ��Ƭ CBD Campus represents a bold step forward in shaping the future of education. The campus officially opened in Term 1, 2025, welcoming students into a space that fosters collaboration, adaptability and environmental responsibility – all in the heart of Sydney’s CBD.
