Inside BVN's Monash University Student Housing

Comprising two 5 storey buildings, each containing 300 studio units, the Monash University Student Housing development in Clayton has set the benchmark for student accommodation in Australia.

In attempt to meet the need for a sense of community, the buildings are flanked around a central, common courtyard which serves as a meeting point and entry into each building.

Each wing of the building grouped in clusters of 30 studios per level. Studios contain a kitchenette, ensuite and living/sleeping space.

At 20 square metres, the studio module was refined to create a sense of spaciousness, incorporating extensive operable floor to ceiling windows and exposed ceilings 2.7 metres in height, with services contained at central risers.

This project has achieved a 5 star Green Star As-Designed rating and is in the process of assessment for an As Built 5 Star rating. It has been identified as the new benchmark for the National and State Government for Affordable Housing.

At a construction cost of $65 million, the 23,000 square metre development was completed in November 2011 by a joint venture between Leighton Holdings subsidiary, Broad Constructions and APM Group.

The project was commissioned by Monash University and supported through the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS), a Federal and State-Government sponsored scheme that subsidises units to be rented out at 20% below market rate.
