The University’s Forestry building in Hobart and River’s Edge building at Inveresk have received national and international recognition at two prestigious award events held in November.
Competing against 12 other finalists from around the globe, Forestry was crowned the winner of the Future Project: Education category at the World Architecture Festival Awards held in Singapore between 6 – 8 November.
The festival brings together architects and designers each year for a multiple-day program where teams present their shortlisted projects live to judges and audiences.
The Forestry building is undergoing restoration to become a modern, inner-city learning centre that will serve the greater Hobart community when it opens in 2026.
Project lead Woods Bagot’s redesign honours the site’s existing conditions, including the 1997 dome designed by Morris-Nunn and Associates. With construction helmed by Hansen Yuncken, the team is restoring the dome, and through adaptive reuse, is reimagining the site as a dynamic learning hub.
