The University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) plans to expand its Moreton Bay campus at Petrie to provide more room for teaching, research, sporting activity and socialising.

USC will construct three new buildings on the site, near the Petrie railway station, during 2022 to open in early 2023.

The buildings will be located opposite the campus’s large foundation building, adding a further 12,500 square metres to the existing floor space of 16,000 square metres.

The proposed development has been designed by renowned architectural practice KIRK to include teaching and research spaces, administration offices, a carpark and sports facilities.

RBM will be supporting Sedatech who are one of Australia’s leading mechanical servicing companies. RBM are supplying a total of 14 Grundfos pumps for chilled water applications across the three buildings, plus the central energy plant. Our supply includes pumps, inertia plinths and anti-vibration spring mounts.

With its student population expected to reach 10,000 students by 2030, the campus will become landmark infrastructure for The Mill at Moreton Bay, which the council has planned as a sustainable, mixed-use community for residents, students, businesses and industries, and visitors.
