Melbourne Connect has established Australia’s leading campus-centered, multi-disciplinary innovation precinct where university, industry, government, entrepreneurs, and researchers co-locate and collaborate to enhance Australia’s innovation, productivity, and sustainability agendas, all within a rich mix of connected and finely detailed built forms.

Melbourne Connect has created at-grade, cross-site pedestrian laneways that connect the outer corners of the orthogonal street grid to a public space at the heart of the site. This unexpected and generous space captures the human comfort and experience driving the form and program of the master plan. The result is a publicly accessible ground plane in one contiguous, clearly navigated realm.
