About the Project

The Deakin Medical School was announced by the Federal Government on 8 April 2006 to fill the shortage of rural and regional medical practitioners by training an annual intake of 120 commonwealth supported students. This is the first rural and regional Medical School in Victoria.

Design Principles

The design principles and outcomes for the project were to provide facilities that are:

• Functional and durable
• Accessible, healthy, safe and secure
• Stimulating, pleasing and interesting
• Provide high quality spaces with the ‘wow’ factor
• Highlight the profile, identity and badging of the new Medical School
• Create links with the campus centre
• Flexible for use now and in the future
• Robust and adaptable spaces
• Cost effective throughout their life cycle
• Identify synergies with other campus facilities
• Socially and environmentally responsible
• Energy efficient throughout their life cycle.
