Swinburne University of Technology
Facility Master Plan and Capital Management Plan
The Master Plan to guide the physical development of Swinburne University over the next 5 to 10 years has been endorsed by the Swinburne University Council.
This is the first time in the history of Swinburne that such an extensive and comprehensive level of infrastructure planning has been achieved. This is a significant milestone for Swinburne and everyone is invited to view the Master Plan, Master Plan Highlights and the Capital Management Plan displayed on the FSG website by clicking on the links below:
The Master Plan will allow the University to develop its facilities across all campuses and to build on an already solid reputation of teaching and research achievement. The Master Plan will maximise our potential with modern and environmentally sensitive facilities equipped with up-to-date technology. The next few years will see substantial activity, particularly at Hawthorn which has the oldest building stock. The Master Plan is based on planned and anticipated growth and thus should be viewed as a fluid document that may be refined to reflect the environment as development occurs.
The Capital Management Plan (CMP) has been developed to support the Master Plan and anticipates spending $82 million over the next 5 years. The CMP for 2006 was approved at the last meeting of the Finance Committee. The 2006 CMP will see major refurbishment in the BA building on levels 10, 11 and12 as academic offices and levels 2 and 6 as additional teaching spaces. Major refurbishment will also occur in the EN building with 3 new tiered lecture theatres on level 1, academic teaching spaces on levels 2 and 3 and academic offices on levels 5 and 6.
Other works planned for 2006 include major refurbishments of the EW building and Hawthorn Library, the relocation of Swinburne Press from Hawthorn to Croydon, and temporary medium term movements of staff to allow for the retirement of leased properties in keeping with the Master Plan.
