We are honoured to have worked with the University of Queensland on our 43rd project together, a leading student accommodation building on their St Lucia campus.

We are honoured to have worked with the University of Queensland on our 43rd project together, a leading student accommodation building on their St Lucia campus. Throughout the design process we were able to introduce significant innovation and efficiencies to the design to enhance the students living experience.

The Student Residence Project is a landmark residential building located on the corner of Walcott, Hood and Rock Streets in St Lucia. The building has been designed to achieve a functional and aesthetic point of difference whilst making safety and the welfare of students a top priority. The residence creates a space where students benefit from a high level of interaction and participation.

With a GFA of 18,378m2 and 606 student rooms, we worked closely with the University and the consultant team to ensure the design achieved project objectives and expectations.

From the client:

The McNab team was well resourced and carefully managed the project from beginning to end, with capable staff and subcontractors. They engaged with the various technical departments of The University and other University stakeholders professionally, and managed innovations and University specific requirements as they arose throughout the project. Their collaborative approach, well managed workforce, courtesy, good communication and openness to ideas has provided a quality outcome for this important University asset.
