The proposed Forrest Hall Stage 2 will sit to the south-west of the existing Forrest Hall building, on the corner of Mounts Bay Road and Hackett Drive. The location is aligned with our vision for the development of the Crawley campus, outlined in the Crawley Campus Plan 2010.

Internationally renowned Kerry Hill Architects designed Forrest Hall and naturally were appointed to design Stage 2. Kerry Hill was one of UWA's first graduates of Architecture.

Forrest Hall forms an integral part of the UWA Crawley campus as the key north-eastern gateway site to the campus at the intersection of Hackett Drive and Mounts Bay Road. The design recognises the significance of this location both to UWA and the wider Perth community. Careful consideration has been given to the various views of and through the site, and by carefully arranging the massing of the building, views of Winthrop Tower will be maintained from both Mounts Bay Road and the Swan River.

Forrest Hall Stage 2 will be in keeping with the style of the existing Forrest Hall building, and will include attractive new landscaping of trees and plants along Hackett Drive.

We appreciate that the community enjoys accessing the Swan River. The landscaping of the area surrounding Forrest Hall will be designed to improve the way in which pedestrians can access the river from Hackett Drive. Members and visitors of the sailing and rowing clubs will continue to have access to their sites under existing arrangements.

• Preliminary works will start in Quarter One - 2020
• Full construction to be underway Quarter Two - 2020

We will be communicating with our local community at key stages throughout the construction of the project.
