Building 11 is one of the most distinctive surviving bluestone buildings from the early foundation of Melbourne. Built in stages from 1859 to 1864, the Old Melbourne Gaol’s former gate-house, governor’s residence, female hospital, bath house and chapel form a cohesive formal group of 3 wings around a handsome central courtyard. The Gatehouse with its grand gated archway facing Franklin Street, formed the main entry to the Gaol complex. The refurbishment project will ensure the protection of this important heritage listed building. The complex house Student Services as flexible academic offices and meeting spaces. The Gaol forecourt and inner courtyard has been interwoven into the city campus’ network of open spaces. The courtyard is a formal urban space with considerable presence and a new gathering place for students and staff. The Gaol forecourt has become a new northern entry space leading into the campus in a similar role to that of Ellis Court on Latrobe Street.
