A 4-level “integrated Technology Hub’ housing advanced tertiary level teaching and learning spaces, high load engineering facilities and flexible use learning areas. The building has been designed to support the growth in technical trades training in Melbourne in the disciplines of air conditioning, mechanical services, refrigeration, plumbing and building construction. One of the innovative elements of the facility is the ‘containerised’ curriculum approach to the workshop teaching spaces. In effect packaged curriculum, including all equipment and services, is deployed from a module when required. Curriculum not active is staked and stored.
