Opening in 2010 is the new housing units at Australian National University in Canberra. This will be one of the first applications of shipping containers in multi-residential housing in Australia - following the precedent firmly established throughout the Netherlands and Scandinavia. The ease of construction and cost make this building an effective solution to address the current inadequacy of the existing housing on the Canberra campus. <accom.anu.edu.au/UAS/43.html>
Within Australia, the precedent for shipping container housing only extends to single residential units, popular within isolated mining towns where housing shortages are prevalent and in disaster response modules, such as Sean Godsell's FutureShack which has gone on to gain International recognition. <www.seangodsell.com/sga.swf>
