RMIT Swanston Academic Building

The RMIT Swanston Academic Building is a university building in central Melbourne featuring eleven stories with a geometric facade. Inside are lecture theaters, teaching spaces, and specialized learning areas that support different educational approaches.

Construction began in 2010 and was completed two years later, reflecting the university's modernization during that period. The project was part of a wider investment in updating the institution's infrastructure.

The building has become a central gathering place for students and educators since opening, serving as a hub where daily interaction and collaboration occur. It shapes the academic life of the region and attracts people across different disciplines through its modern facilities.

The building has multiple cafes and a restaurant spread across different levels, making it easy to find food and refreshments. Visitors should note that it is a large building and takes time to navigate.

The building uses an advanced cooling system with under-floor air distribution to maintain optimal temperature conditions. This technology provides efficient climate control without creating intrusive air currents.
