University of Wollongong Retirement Village Workshops

Designing the next generation of retirement living
Brief
Lendlease Retirement won the tender from the University of Wollongong (UOW) to deliver an innovation campus, with a retirement living offer at the heart of the precinct. The project was established to enable both parties to demonstrate their innovative approach as leaders in their respective fields. Preceding the finalisation of the agreement, the two parties sought external expertise to help them begin a more detailed and strategic conversation to articulate their collective ambitions for this project.
Approach
Left Bank Co. were engaged by Lendlease as a workshop facilitator to lend an expert but outside voice to an intensive day of visioning workshops. These sessions were designed in partnership with leaders from both Lendlease and UOW and took three sets of stakeholders through a process of reflection, strategic thinking and priority planning.
Impact
The outcomes of these workshops set the tone for both parties to commence detailed masterplanning and development of the retirement village and how it fit within the wider Innovation Campus.
