The multi-million dollar arms race to lure students to university

As universities face increasing competition and demand for online education grows, bricks and mortar institutions are spruiking their campus experience as a key point of difference.


Architect Carey Lyon, the founding director of Lyons, the firm that oversaw the RMIT revamp, said “sticky campuses” created a community where students wanted to study and socialise.


“People realise that human to human connection that you get from being on campus is a really important part of an education,” he said.


According to Mr Lyon, RMIT’s campus operates as a living room for many students.


“A lot of their students live in very small apartments within a short walk of RMIT…the university gives them space to work during the day and night,” he said.
