Charles Sturt University (CSU) at Bathurst is giving staff, prospective students and their parents the opportunity to inspect the new 200-bed student residences on Thursday 27 November. The on campus residences will be completed in early 2009. On completion, 10 modular concrete and corrugated iron buildings will each house 20 students in self-catered accommodation. The development will include ‘open plan’ kitchens and living areas in each block, with two buildings enclosing an open courtyard. The corrugated iron, which is light, strong, adaptable and durable, shields the internal concrete walls from the summer heat, enabling the buildings to maintain a more constant temperature without the use of expensive air conditioning.
