Students' creativity will bloom in a newly-dedicated 'Creative Hub' at the Charles Sturt University (CSU) School of Communication and Creative Industries in Bathurst. The $500 000 Creative Hub features state-of-the-art multimedia equipment, individual sound and video booths, and collaborative spaces set against bright yellow, orange and green feature walls. The space supports learning across all School of Communication and Creative Industries courses and campuses, with a particular focus on the first-year experience. Associate Professor Chika Anyanwu, Head of the School of Communication and Creative Industries, said, "The Creative Hub supports new course delivery methods and learning environments as the School moves towards BYO devices and a student-centred learning and teaching approach for our first-year media subjects. The space supports a multi-modal approach to learning and teaching, and accommodates workshops, mentoring and consultation, and cross-campus experiences. It is the learning and creative home for our students, a place where they can be creative, act, record and rehearse - sometimes very loudly. By demystifying the creative process we hope to produce 21st Century-ready graduates with determination and a sense of purpose."
