The Minister for Tertiary Education has announced plans to design and build a new campus for the Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) in Woden.
The Minister, Chris Steel said the project would deliver essential community infrastructure and assist in Woden’s regeneration, while also creating jobs.
“CIT’s new major campus will transform Woden into a better place for people to live, work and study,” Mr Steel said.
“We have a unique opportunity to design and build a high quality integrated mixed-use campus where Canberrans can study, catch public transport and access a range of community services, all in the one central location,” he said.
“As part of the project’s design development, the ACT Government is seeking community feedback on what elements of design contribute to creating a great campus, building and space.”
Mr Steel said early concepts had been released, designed to test the community’s views about what may be possible on the site and the pros and cons of different options, especially around building height and open space.
“The Government is engaging early in the process to determine what design elements the local community, and future users of this site, value most,” he said.
“Whether you are passionate about creating quality learning spaces, supporting sustainable design or ensuring Woden’s local facilities are well integrated, I encourage you to have your say in the development of this important project.”
Mr Steel said a community survey was available until 17 June.
