![]() ![]() Aaron Whitlock, General Manager Projects Division at Royal Wolf, said their team of engineers navigated multiple challenges throughout the project, to maintain the balance of modern design and structural integrity. The Macquarie University Campus Common puts the skills of our engineers to the test by combining all of these functions into one,” said Mr Littlewood. “Our containers have been transformed into everything from festival food stalls and pop-up shops, to accommodation units, entertainment spectacles, and permanent retail spaces. Neil Littlewood, CEO of Royal Wolf, said the company is thrilled to be involved in such a significant project that brings together all the creative modifications they have recently undertaken as the trend of using containers for non-traditional purposes continues to boom. Campus Common is designed by Architectus and was completed in collaboration with Fabritecture Australia and Grindley Construction. Royal Wolf engineers built a temporary yet sustainable space – now known as the Campus Common - comprised of 60 modified containers, encompassing absolutely everything for food service areas, bars, spaces, cold rooms for bar service areas and food storage, as well as plant rooms, electrical and HVAC, and site infrastructure, waste removal and restrooms. The University needed a new area on campus for students and staff to eat, socialise and study during construction and contacted Royal Wolf to find a unique solution. Earlier this year, the University commenced plans to deconstruct and then build an innovative new learning and teaching building with food and beverage offerings, as well as the first two of five student housing buildings.
