RMIT Building 22

The new digital gateway provides a rich design response for key brand, communication and cultural launch pad

ARCH was  engaged to design 'Study @ RMIT’ (Building 22 at 330 Swanston Street) as RMIT’s primary contact point for all Student and Visitor inquiries for the broader RMIT, CBD Campus and is located at the University’s most prominent ‘gateway’ site on the corner of LaTrobe and Swanston Streets, opposite Melbourne Central Station and the new State Library Station (opening 2026). With its high profile location and its adjacency to the iconic Storey Hall, the re-purposing and re-invention of Info Corner offers a unique opportunity to realise the sites enormous potential as RMIT’s key brand, communication and cultural launch pad.

ARCH has worked with RMIT to develop the right accommodation strategy to ‘unlock’ the embedded value of the project to the degree to which the planning & design solution is able to create a highly engaging, iconic, accessible, digital experience for all students and visitors to the site. Additionally, ARCH has taken the opportunity to re-invent the site as an iconic digital gateway to the campus.
