UNE Tamworth concept begins to take shape

University of New England

The vision for how UNE Tamworth will look, feel and be used continues to take shape, through co-design workshops with local and regional people, groups and businesses.

UNE, Architectus and Indigenous consultancy Yerrabingin held a Design Jam last week with local and regional First Nations people, followed by a session with the Tamworth University Reference Group.

The events were “an important start in the development of the concept”, as participants’ ideas will be used to inform the design, UNE project lead Meri Butler said.

“These engagement sessions are providing the project team with the chance to better understand the project context, and develop a set of shared project objectives and intentions,” she said.

“They will continue into June as the design develops, with the schematic design being completed in July.”

The Design Jam was facilitated by Yerrabingin CEO Christian Hampson, who led small groups to brainstorm themes for the design and use of the future campus on Peel St.
