Vaulted Depths is an underground city built as a shelter when the surface becomes uninhabitable. Play is part of the design: multi-level ramps link the layers, letting people run, jump, and slide. Trampolines, ziplines, and climbing walls turn everyday circulation into exploration. The rooftop offers swings and open play areas, while a central bridge ends at a diving platform and water pool. Throughout this vertical city, movement becomes play—running along ramps, sliding down paths, climbing walls, and diving give life and energy to the underground.
In the spirit of reconciliation Monash University acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
