Episode 120: Victoria University City Tower, a study in Modernising Historic Buildings for Today’s Educational Needs

Clare Connan Senior Associate, Woods Bagot Architect and Stewart Lock,  Principal of Jackson Architecture explain the complexity and challenges in redesigning the Victoria University tower in Melbourne.

From incorporating the 32-story glass tower onto a super-tight site to understanding the sites past as a one-time early 20th century STD clinic, the trials and tribulations of adaptive and heritage redesign, Clare and Stewart explain how they managed to deliver a structure that now holds the title of the Southern Hemisphere’s tallest university building.
