Project Overview

The refurbished Macquarie University International College (MUIC) student precinct has transformed the on-campus experience for MUIC Students by delivering a world-class student hub, a state-of-the-art Independent Learning Centre, 15 MUIC Classrooms, an IELTs Test Centre, Staff Offices and activated Corridors.

The design concept for the project was to bring students together in an environment where they feel safe to socialise together or relax individually, within an educational environment. The culture of connection, casual exchange of ideas and collaboration is enhanced through the provision of communal spaces, activated corridors and considered furniture selection.
