The Melbourne Connect Superfloor
The Superfloor provides dedicated spaces for formal and informal meetings, workshops, exhibitions and events. Stimulated by activation and led by the University of Melbourne, this is where tenant partners connect, exhibit work and engage.
Designed as a place for human connection, the Superfloor will allow tenant partners to experience new ideas and ways of thinking, and host guests and thought leaders, creating a new epicentre for Melbourne’s innovation community.
Creator Space
Melbourne Connect will house a Creator Space on the ground floor and basement – giving students, academics and tenants the ability to quickly and accurately prototype and test early concepts to drive ground-breaking innovation.
The space will offer 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC machines, soldering irons, and power tools – including access to expert machinists on site to guide the use of all metal, electronic and woodwork equipment.
The Oculus
A central, open-air green public space connected by four laneways, featuring food and beverage retail outlets and space to sit and enjoy the sun.
The Oculus will bring an abundance of greenery and light to the entire precinct.
