Sod turning for Learning Commons in Albury
1 JANUARY 2003
The sod will be turned on a $10 million development that addresses new ways of learning at Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) Albury-Wodonga Campus on Monday 23 April. The new approach to learning will be officially launched by CSU Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Professor Ross Chambers. Relocating the existing library facilities into interactive student-focused learning ‘commons’ has been prompted by the new ways students work and study, with over $20 million invested across all campuses, including $10 million on the Learning Commons on the University’s Thurgoona site. CSU Vice-Chancellor Professor Ian Goulter says, “This exciting development demonstrates the University’s flexibility and initiative by providing up-to-date technology and innovative learning resources for our students and staff, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” The Learning Commons building is designed by nationally renowned architect Peter Stutchbury and his team at Stutchbury & Pape, and incorporates library, computer services and student learning services in one space. Zauner Constructions has been selected to construct the facility.
