Designed to support regional, remote and international students, the new accommodation enhances UQ’s commitment to accessible, high‑quality student living.
UQ Student Residences Precinct 2, St Lucia
Programming a major new student precinct.
The University of Queensland’s $285 million Student Residences Precinct 2 will deliver 1,020 new beds across three buildings at its St Lucia campus. Scheduled to open in Semester 2, 2027, the development will significantly expand UQ’s on-campus accommodation for regional, remote, interstate and international students.
The precinct will provide a mix of contemporary living options supported by shared study spaces, landscaped outdoor areas, central cooking and laundry facilities, a pool, gym, games and music rooms, and 24/7 concierge services.
Independent programming across three buildings.
RCP is providing independent programming services, establishing the baseline construction programme and undertaking monthly reviews, progress tracking and reporting.
With three multi-storey buildings being delivered concurrently within the heart of an active university campus, RCP’s role provides UQ with independent oversight of programme performance, critical milestones and emerging risks. Working with UQ and Built, RCP monitors sequencing and progress against the Semester 2, 2027 opening target.
Once complete, the precinct will increase UQ’s on-campus accommodation capacity to more than 4,500 beds, providing a major new residential community within the St Lucia campus.
