On completion, the development will provide multiple teaching and learning facilities, function areas and workspaces for staff, students and the general public.
The company will utilize Building Information Modeling and augmented and virtual reality technologies to enhance the restoration process of this iconic building. Work recently commenced with an overall completion expected ahead of the start of the academic year in 2021. At construction peak, the project will employ a workforce of 170 and employ a range of local supply chain partners.
