Monash University,
Clayton Campus
Clayton, Victoria, Australia
Name: Briggs Hall and Jackomos Hall
Opened: January 2012
•
Cost: $70 million
Architect: BVN Architecture
In January 2012, Monash University opened two
new studio apartment-style residence halls on
its Clayton Campus. Briggs Hall and Jackomos
Hall each house 300 students and have a focus
on communal space in their accommodation of
Monash’s large international population.
The two buildings create a diamond shape
around a large courtyard, the meeting place
and entry point to both buildings. Similarly, the
individual studios line the perimeter of each
building, leaving generous space for communal
areas in the center of each building. Each hall
contains 10 rooms, creating 10 wings of 30
rooms in each building.
While the 20-square-meter studios do not
provide a lot of individual space for students,
they are all equipped with a bed, table, chairs,
a small kitchen, and a personal bathroom. The
floor-to-ceiling windows provide an additional
sense of space, and the community rooms
provide inviting spaces for various activities.
Each hall has a main common room, many of
which are two stories, also with floor-to-ceiling
windows. “The communal lounge and kitchens
located at the end of each residential wing or
corridor have been extremely popular with
students who use the spaces for study, games,
social activities, group cooking, watching T.V.
and sports events, and generally mixing with
other residents,” says Vladimir Prpich, the
director of Monash residential services.
Because all the windows and doors can
open completely, there is no need for artificial
air conditioning. Briggs Hall and Jackomos
Hall were both designed as 5-Star Green Star
buildings, an Australian excellence award
for environmentally friendly design, and they
serve as the new benchmark standard for the
Australian National and State Government for
Affordable Housing.
