Description
The $63 million redevelopment of the Flinders University Plaza and Student Hub in Adelaide, officially opened in March 2016. Designed by Woods Bagot, the new plaza and student hub includes over 11,000m2 of enhanced facilities together with an improved terraced plaza space designed to create a dynamic precinct for students.

The design draws on findings through the engagement of students, teachers and staff which included creating student ‘owned’ spaces for study, recreation and socialisation, teaching and learning facilities, student-facing services, food and beverage offerings and student support services.

Twig benches and Stump stools, designed by Alexander Lotersztain for Derlot Editions, feature in the enclosed mall and assist in the activation of flexible learning spaces. Woods Bagot Director Thomas Masullo said with ‘a focus on student interaction, engagement and services, the new Student Hub and Plaza is a vibrant place to learn, connect and play.’
