This award-winning 3 storey student accommodation building at the Central Queensland University's Mackay Campus provides 72 self contained suites on site for students.

It includes common room and breakout facilities, civil infrastructure and associated landscape works.

The accommodation modules were prefabricated construction, built in the Hutchies' modular facility. The units were all built simultaneously with the in-situ components in Mackay, achieving practical completion 8 months from commencement (6 months sooner than traditional construction). The project is the first Australian component built multistorey prefabricated building, a great achievement for Hutchies.
