The Fleetwood Challenge Cup Media Release - The Finalists 2021

FLEETWOOD CHALLENGE CUP SHOWCASES THE BEST DESIGNS FROM AUSTRALIA’S LEADING AEC STUDENTS AS 2021 FINALISTS ARE ANNOUNCED

A glut of empty commercial premises exist in inner city areas thanks to the pandemic-induced mandate of working from home.  The volume of empty properties has triggered an unprecedented need for vast numbers of commercial buildings to be redesigned and reconfigured to meet a mix of residential and commercial needs using adaptive re-use.

The Fleetwood Challenge Cup was developed by Fleetwood Australia in partnership with the peak body for Australia’s prefabricated building industry, prefabAUS, to address some of Australia’s most significant construction challenges. The competition is open to faculty teams with a cohort of Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) Management students from Universities across Australia.

Cash prizes totalling $15,000 attracted an outstanding field of entries in the 2021 Fleetwood Challenge Cup.
