Yukeembruk (ANU SA8)

Dowse Projects provided Project Management services on behalf of the ANU for the delivery of Yukeembruk, which delivers 731 student accommodation beds in single-occupant rooms across three buildings of four to six storeys. The University’s largest residence to date, Yukeembruk brings the total number of on-campus beds at the ANU Acton campus to just over 6,400.

The design responds to a student survey emphasising the importance of both indoor and outdoor communal spaces to encourage greater interaction among students, and comprises resident recreation facilities, common rooms and kitchen facilities, administration facilities, dining halls, bicycle parking, hard and soft landscape works including recreational courtyards and outdoor BBQ areas, and community facilities including a basketball court, share way and mixed-use village green.
