(Hong Kong – August 29, 2018) Campus Perth – a vibrant, design-led, co-living student hub is set to be home to more than 700 international and domestic university students from early 2019. Perth is home to a thriving international community, with students from Hong Kong seeking to study in the cities’ top universities.
With more students from Hong Kong seeking to pursue further education in Australia’s world-class system, the need for city centre living is increasingly important. Located in vibrant Perth at 80 Stirling Street, Campus Perth has been designed with the idea of community at its core to seamlessly integrate spaces for students to live, socialise, study, learn and collaborate across 11 floors.
A collaboration between GCP Hospitality – renowned, global hospitality and accommodation operator – and global award-winning design studio, Woods Bagot, Campus will offer safe and secure flat sharing style apartments of four and six bedrooms, spacious rooms for two, and private studio apartments, all created with an emphasis on design, functionality and technology. Every room has a strong design look and feel and is complemented with high-speed Wi-Fi, lockable drawers, ensuite bathrooms, individual study desks, card access doors and USB charging hubs.
Split across 3,600 sqm of communal areas, students will have access to The Link – a co-working space with cluster tables, individual workstations and rooms for private meetings, all equipped with the latest technology and connectivity including high-speed Wi-Fi, USB charging stations, screening options and monitors.
The Commons is a vibrant, multi-cultural area for students to take a break from studying and features a gaming room, snooze and social areas. A fully-equipped fitness centre will also be accessible for students, laudry floor, a BBQ rooftop along with fully-equipped communal kitchens on each floor for students to share their favorite Aisian receipes and show-off their cooking skills.
GCP Hospitality Chief Marketing Officer, Marc Bichet, said, “Campus Perth blurs the lines between traditional student accommodation and a co-living space to deliver the next generation of student accommodation. Campus Perth is a student lifestyle, a co-living hub that empowers independent living, whilst being part of a wider, like-minded social, academic and safe community. It will also contribute to and enhance the vibrant, urban precinct of Northbridge.””
Bichet continued, “We coupled GCP Hospitality’s experience and knowledge of international design and lifestyle trends within hotels, restaurants and co-living environments with Woods Bagot's local insight and global practice in experiential architecture to create a space that celebrates all realms of student living and encapsulates the Campus brand.”
Woods Bagot principaland Campus Perth interior design project leader, Eva Sue, said, “The building was a series of unique, future-focused and inspiring design-led spaces that represent the next-gen evolution of student accommodation. A key consideration for Campus Perth is to support the multi-tasking of students and elevate the urban lifestyle of being a university student. The project adopts the concept of co-living to blend spaces and create engaging and dynamic communities which allow students to engage communally and collectively, while also enjoying individual experiences.”
Sue added, “The diversity and unique identity of each space offers a choice for students in how they socialise, study, collaborate and seek retreat. The spaces are designed to be fun, to inspire and motivate, with elements of surprise and delight.”
“The design takes a ‘hyperlocal’ approach with an emphasis on delivering customised, unique and authentic experiences to Campus Perth by commissioning local art and creating integrated spaces to host events and cultural activities. Our urban design response has seen a new landscaped connection between Stirling and Pier Streets, which will further enhance and activate the precinct with vibrant retail and casual dining experiences,” Sue said.
Designed with the student in mind, Campus Perth rates are inclusive of all accommodation fees, government rates, legal fees, management fees, electricity and water, hi-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning, access to washers and dryers and 24/7 security. A dedicated Campus Guru will be on hand to help foster a community atmosphere with a schedule of planned social events, including movie and games nights, potluck dinners and yoga classes.
Campus Perth will open in January 2019. To find out more and view room options, visit http://www.campusperth.com
