The project<\/strong>
The Melbourne Holocaust Museum was opened in 1984 as a memorial to the millions of Jews murdered in World War II. The original site, a former dance school at 13 Selwyn Street Elsterwick, has been remodelled and extended several times thanks to donations over the years \u2013 and visitation steadily increased as more and more people recognised the centre\u2019s importance as a cultural institution.

By 2017, it had become clear that the centre needed to be redeveloped to accommodate its growth. Thanks to wonderful support from the community, as well as Federal and State Governments, a plan was developed for the museum to be completely rebuilt on its original site. The new building would be a state-of-the-art four-storey museum, with ancillary office and archive spaces.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The challenge<\/h2><\/div>
UPco was asked to act as an adviser on the museum’s redevelopment, working closely with project architects, Kerstin Thompson Architects. The project was multi-faceted and complex, with heritage considerations \u2013 and after seeking input from a qualified heritage advisor, it was decided that part of the heritage fac\u0327ade would be maintained.

At the same time, it was essential that the redeveloped space worked as hard as possible to accommodate the museum’s needs, including permanent and temporary museum spaces, an auditorium, and educational \u2018break out\u2019 rooms, as well as offices, archival areas and parking. All of this had to be achieved within the context of the site on Selwyn Street. This meant UPco needed to negotiate and resolve a number of complex challenges, including future access for school buses, amenity impacts on adjacent buildings and the Council\u2019s plans to create a civic area along Selwyn Street.

The outcome<\/h2><\/div>
UPco reached out to City of Glen Eira early on in the planning process, engaging them throughout the permit application process. In recognition of the project\u2019s exemplary design and vast community benefit, we were pleased to receive great support from Council, and gain approval for building to commence in 2020.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
