Architects chosen for $200M city campus showpiece

Queensland University of Technology has announced that Donovan Hill and Wilson Architects will design its new $200 million Science and Technology Precinct and community hub at its Gardens Point campus.

QUT advertised in July for tenders, with Donovan Hill and Wilson winning the bid over three other consortia.

QUT Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter Coaldrake said the new development would be a striking addition to the Brisbane CBD skyline.

"The development will be located at what is essentially the gateway to the CBD, given the close proximity to the Captain Cook and Goodwill Bridges," Professor Coaldrake said.

"A number of new buildings will be designed and built around the precinct over the next five years and some existing buildings demolished."

The precinct will house major research facilities, new teaching and learning spaces and retail, recreational and community facilities.
