Jocelyn Chiew, Monash University

Session Duration: 45min

In 2009 Monash University embarked on an ambitious suite of masterplans to guide growth and development, at three of its campuses, towards sustainable futures. A multidisciplinary team was engaged, comprising urban designers, architects, landscape architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, retail and accessibility consultant and the team from the Monash Office of Environmental Sustainability  (tOES).

Now in 2011 the masterplans are nearing completion and tOES has successfully managed to ensure sustainability is strongly embedded throughout these plans.

The session will focus on how the masterplan affects sustainability at the university, what approaches were taken to build a rapport with both the internal and external masterplanning team, what products of the process might influence change and what implications this collaboration and infiltration has for the future of the campuses.
