Fenner Hall Student Accommodation, ANU | BVN
Residential Architecture | Multiple Housing
Fenner Hall Student Accommodation is a signifcant building at ANU comprising the Kambri precinct, which opened in early 2019. It draws together urban design agendas in the creation of a new, contemporary campus heart infused with commercial life, with the tradition of large institutional education buildings requiring timeless elegance and a sense of gravitas.
The largest building within the Kambri precinct, Fenner Hall consists of two wings of student accommodation featuring a predominantly brick façade, linked at the lower levels by communal and retail areas which feature transparency and connection with the outdoors through the façade and spatial configuration. The use of bronze fenestration throughout reinforces the timeless and civic character of the building, while the dynamic interlocking of forms with the other buildings comprising the precinct balances this with contemporary expression.
Client perspective:
How does the design benefit the way you live/work/play/operate/educate/other?
The New Fenner Hall was an essential part of the Kambri Redevelopment ensuring the project delivered a living precinct shifting accommodation from the campus’ fringe into its heart. The new Fenner Hall delivers an urban offering that contributes both in design and activity in a new vibrant and diverse campus heart enhancing wellbeing as well as supporting the eclectic nature of university life whilst facilitating lifelong relationships and an enhanced student experience. The focus was on delivering not only a high-quality built product but also focusing on the softer elements – camaraderie, friendships, academic and pastoral support.
