Construction of Stage One of USC Moreton Bay, Australia’s newest university campus, located at the heart of Moreton Bay is well underway.
The new University of the Sunshine Coast campus is set to cater for up to 10,000 students in its first 10 years and will be the anchor of The Mill at Moreton Bay Priority Development Area. USC Moreton Bay will be built on a 10.5-hectare land on the former Petrie Paper Mill site.
Hansen Yuncken is undertaking the construction works of Stage One of the USC Moreton Bay foundation. The foundation facility will include a 400-seat lecture theatre for teaching and community events; a $10 million worth state-of-the-art technology, including simulation facilities, engineering facilities, and a makerspace; and a core commitment to renewable energy.
The USC Moreton Bay campus is accessible from Old Gympie road, the Petrie Station, and the Petrie to Kippa-Ring Share path.
