DCWC provided comprehensive Project Management, Superintendency Services, Quantity Surveying, and Cost Management, for the redevelopment of the University of Melbourne's Werribee Campus.
This project aimed to enhance the facilities for the Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences, ensuring students had access to a premier research institution, prompted by an accreditation review from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), which pinpointed critical areas needing improvement to uphold the School’s accreditation.
The redevelopment project included a new 6,000sqm learning & teaching building and refurbishment of the existing Veterinary Hospital, along with refurbishment and expansion of the existing car parks and campus-wide landscape and infrastructure improvements. Improvements to campus accessibility were made with a focus on pedestrian safety. Despite a strict budget, the project succeeded due to close collaboration with architects and builders, effectively managing multiple phases within a tight timeline.
Key outcomes for the project were reaccreditation of the VET School and a 6-satr Greenstar rating for the new learning & teaching building.
