The Forest revitalises, adapts, and activates the University of Tasmania’s heritage Forestry building, establishing a new CBD campus for the Tasmanian School of Business and Economics, Humanities, Social Sciences, and University College.

Organised around three design pillars developed in direct response to the University’s Hobart CBD masterplan, the project delivers a highly connected, porous campus of welcoming spaces that invite business and community access while honouring the site’s heritage. An urban design strategy exposes the rivulet through a landscaped rear plaza and winter garden, connecting Brisbane Street to a green spine on Melville Street.
