Deakin University – T&G Building

The T&G Building is located in the heart of the Geelong CBD, on a busy corner, and required close liaison with the City of Geelong and VicRoads for road closures, crossing permits and parking access.  A unique art deco building consisting of six floors, a basement and clock tower, vacant for many years, subject to a heritage overlay and in need a full restoration to provide central student accommodation for Deakin University.

The project consisted of the internal demolition of six floors within the building, and the subsequent conversion to 32 student bedrooms. Each room consisted of a desk area, single bed, a kitchen and ensuite.
