Burgmann is one of the only independently owned and run student colleges within the Australian National University campus. The original college was established in 1971 to house 230 students. In 2004 PBS Building constructed a new ‘village’ to accommodate an additional 120 post graduate students.
The project consisted of seven
accommodation blocks, a tutorial / IT
building, one laundry block, a chapel
and a
café. Within the accommodation
blocks there are 58 one, three and five
bedroom units with full kitchen and
bathroom facilities.
PBS Building had a full design and
construct role on this project and
managed to deliver it in a time frame
that ANU
Facilities and Services
viewed as impossible.
In order to achieve the time frame,
pre-cast floor and wall elements
were
used for the structure with a composite
facade system of brickwork, fibre cement
and Colourbond cladding.
Extensive
smart card systems were installed in the
complex allowing students to do anything
from accessing their apartments, to
charging meals in the cafeteria.
The project was built immediately adjacent to sensitive CSIRO test sites, a marsupial enclosure and the National
Botanic Gardens. There was no adverse impact on these areas because of our dedicated focus on the
environmental
management in all the project planning and activities.
