arete Australia proudly partnered with the University of Melbourne to revolutionise the Melbourne School of Engineering's Level 3 in Building 176. This innovative fitout at the Parkville Campus has set a new standard, serving as a prototype for future renovations across the institution.

Our team crafted an inspiring student workspace that seamlessly blends functionality with aesthetics. The redesigned floor features expansive collaborative areas flanked by centrally-located offices, fostering both teamwork and focused study. The space is elevated by exquisite joinery, including hand-laminated timber veneer finishes and matching wall panelling, creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere.

To complete this transformative project, arete incorporated stylish American oak furniture and sleek Corian benchtops in the breakout areas, enhancing both comfort and visual appeal. The result is a cutting-edge learning environment that supports the next generation of engineers in their academic journey.
