CSL’s new Headquarters and Centre for R&D has been designed and constructed to meet CSL’s operational needs for the foreseeable future. As a new vertical campus, the project reinterprets CSL’s founding Parkville Campus and home for over a century. It recognises CSL’s status as both a significant corporate entity and a major contributor to the Biotech precinct in Melbourne. The building integrates workspaces with laboratory facilities, consolidating operations and supporting CSL’s cultural values of collaboration and innovation while providing excellent amenity for all staff.
The 16 floors are interconnected by an interior vertical stair that joins collaboration hubs on each level and this creates ample opportunity for engagement, connection, and community. The fitout design, such as the transparent labs and the visitor-facing spaces, are befitting of a company of CSL’s stature, showcasing the facility to the Biomedical and wider community in general.
A beacon for Australian innovation, CSL’s Global Headquarters and Centre for Research and Development is a new landmark within the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct.
As Developer and Asset Owner, PDG commend Cox Architecture on their ability to deliver on our original architectural vision whilst seamlessly accommodating the complex requirements of the vertically integrated biomedical research laboratories alongside the worldclass workplace design that is befitting of Australia’s largest biotech company.
This exceptional design outcome has undoubtedly exceeded the expectations of both PDG and our tenant partner in CSL and is a testament to of the genuine collaboration and true design excellence.
