The tour of Melbourne Connect will conclude at ClarkeHopkinsClarke Architect’s top-floor studio, shortlisted for a 2022 AIDA Award.

Melbourne Connect opened its doors in 2021 and is the latest addition to the city’s innovation ecology. Powered by the University of Melbourne in partnership with a consortium led by Lendlease, Melbourne Connect was designed by an architectural collective led by master planners Woods Bagot. Melbourne Connect is a space to bring together world-class researchers, government, industry, SMEs, startups, higher-degree students, artists and Science Gallery Melbourne, in a purpose-built innovation precinct in the heart of Carlton and next to the university’s Parkville campus and the Biomedical Precinct.
