Unibar and Cloisters
The historic Memorial Cloisters has been redeveloped to create a new and multi-dimensional UniBar and entertainment venue for students, staff and the general public.
The project marked the beginning of the Union House precinct transformation, which included major upgrades to the heritage building and surrounding landscape, and creation of unique, bookable spaces to support student clubs and enable a range of cultural events and activities on campus.
The new UniBar improves connectivity between indoor and outdoor spaces, and has resulted in an influx of people to the lower half of the campus.
