Local firm wins uni housing bid

A HOBART architectural firm has been appointed to design a new $65 million student housing project on an old carpark in Melville St.

University of Tasmania Vice-Chancellor Peter Rathjen today announced Terrior Architects had been chosen as the principal consultants out of a field of 24 local and national firms.

"Terroir's appointment to the student accommodation project is yet another boost for the Tasmanian jobs market and its creative industries. They will oversee the work of numerous local engineers and other design consultants," Prof Rathjen said in a statement.

"This is the second announcement in a week by the University of Tasmania of a principal consultant for a major infrastructure project in Hobart, and the second to feature a Tasmanian company."

UTAS last week announced Liminal Architecture had won the tender to design the $75 million Academy of Creative Industries and Performing Arts on a carpark next door to the Theatre Royal in Campbell St.

Expected to breathe new life into Hobart's CBD, the Melville St development will include 430 self-contained apartments. A retail hub is also planned on the site's Elizabeth St frontage.

The student accommodation, funded through the National Rental Affordability Scheme, is due to be completed in early 2016.

Terroir will be supported by the Melbourne-based company Fender Katsalides Architects, whose credits include MONA.
