Griffith U says yes it will open a CBD campus, but speculation a site is selected “is incorrect”

Last week Brisbane and national media reported Myer was going to bail on its Brisbane CBD store and that Griffith U “had emerged as a possible tenant.”

GU’s 2020-25 strategic plan includes a CBD campus – and it is still a starter, although a university representative tells CMM that while “the strategic drivers” are unchanged, “flow-on impacts of the pandemic mean the campus will be of a smaller scale than was initially envisaged.”

As to where, “no preferred sites have been identified.” Expressions of interest closed in December and the university’s council, will decide, “on next steps.”

Presumably soon-ish, the university is sticking to its original 2026 opening date.
