The Kelvin Grove campus is critical to the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), located within a confined site in the centre of the campus, linking to existing adjacent buildings and circulation routes.
It comprises teaching spaces, student lounges and creative spaces, function spaces, office and study areas, all spread over 6 levels with a substantial atrium linking with the adjoining buildings. The QUT Education precinct project was procured under a traditional lump sum contract, with Donald Cant Watts Corke providing full Quantity Surveying services.
