Enabling health education and research while keeping campus operations running  

At a glance

Victoria University’s Health Innovation Centre Associated Campus Works Program supports the relocation of the College of Health and Biomedicine from St Albans to Footscray Park. Across five interdependent works packages, the program delivers refurbished offices, learning and teaching spaces and specialist facilities, while enabling the decanting of existing buildings to make way for new health research and teaching facilities.  

The Challenge

The works must be carefully sequenced to coordinate relocations and refurbishment activities with delivery of the new Health Innovation Centre, while maintaining teaching and day-to-day campus operations. 

This requires sensitive engagement with affected staff and end users, clear approval processes and careful management of noise, dust, vibration and hazardous materials. The refurbished spaces must also meet specialist teaching requirements within the constraints of existing campus buildings.  

Our solution

Our team is providing project management and superintendency services across the five associated campus works packages, supporting the University’s space planning strategy. Working closely with the University and end users, we have helped translate specialist learning and teaching requirements into detailed designs, including audiovisual systems, student sightlines and space layouts. 

To coordinate delivery, we have helped establish stakeholder engagement, governance and approval protocols that account for the University’s internal procurement and decision-making processes. Ongoing coordination with the new Health Innovation Centre delivery team helps align the refurbishment packages with the wider development and manage interfaces between the projects. 

Maintaining campus operations is central to this approach. We have worked with the University to establish protocols for managing noise, dust, vibration and hazardous materials, supported by regular monitoring and reporting to help minimise disruption to staff and students.
